Title: suzuki body bolts suck!... just ranting...
Post by: elijah on May 21, 2006, 10:17:53 PM
I'm just came inside from starting my body lift on my sidekick.  i took off the bumper covers and in the process stripped every single body screw but one!  Then while using my extractor, i managed to break every single body screw excepting maybe three or four.  oh well, at least i got the bumpers off. 
  I managed to take all the body mount nuts and bolts off without breaking anything though.... that's what i was really worried about.  it's a good thing i have a whole box of new m6's and m8's sittin' in the garage from when i broke every single bolt on my samurai!  i hope the newer suzuki's use better fasteners!  i love suzuki, but they really fall short in this dept!  :) 
at least i'm done the hard part of the body lift now, the rest will hopefully go smoothly now!  does anyone know if a sidekick will pass a safety check without bumper covers?hehehe!

I was changing the valve cover gasquet seal and snapped a bolt off in the block. :-[ I broke a drill bit and an extractor bolt in there. So it;s rigged right now but it works. That sucks your body bolts broke.
