flipping my front spindles
I am in the process of flipping my front spindles in an attempt to lower my front end. So far i have removed all of the nuts connected to the spindle and the fluid cable going into the caliper, but i cant seem to get the upper A arm to release the bolt. Any suggestions?.. am i not yanking hard enough .. am i missing something.. I was thinking of putting the wheel back on and lowering the jack slowly until the spring allowed the lower bolt to release thus making it easier to drop the spindle off of the upper A arm.
Also when I flip the spindles I plan on switching the sides ( put the left one on the right side and vice versa) in order to keep the calipers in the rear position. Is this a good idea or should I remove the calipers and re-install them when i swap?? is there an up and a down to the brake calipers ??
I am new to this hands on work and cant stop messing with everthing on my car.. I got this idea for flipping the spindles from an old HopUP magazine i have.. and just thought i would give it a try..
Any help is greatly appreciated.To our Hot Rods
