One thing a lift won't help with.......
U-Joint Strap bolts with 135K miles of rust on them.........
Hoped to get the Fidanza in the 90 today, but the C-Beam bolts were a bear, had to break out the big air gun and 3/4" drive sockets to break the rear ones loose. Almost broke my hand holding the wrench on the top  I soaked the U-Joint strap bolts and will let them sit overnight.

I think the impact wrench I used produces up to 700ftlbs and it took awhile to move the the bolts that are on the rear diff.(21MM)

Re: One thing a lift won't help with.......
I don't remember these being difficult to remove on the 92, aside from positioning the wrench on top. These took 30 seconds with the Gun to break loose and I did not use a Impact Wrench on the 92........The nuts do not thread on easily either, so install will be a treat also, wondering how hard it is to find new?
