Thanks swshawaii -I also went on a hunt for the bolts for positions "B" and "C". I had the sleeves with me, and the new prothane bushings. I went to Ace Hardware, and the had the grade 10 12M-1.75 for those positions in 2.5 inches, but not ~3"(72mm). I looked at the threads in the inner(bottom)...

Yeah, so the drivers "b" bolt was a PITA. Took about 3.5 hrs and acetylene to get the upper and lower bushing sleeve to separate. Does anyone know the bolt sizes for position b-c-d ?

Yes, Todd - It was surely a pain, but now both bolts are brand new, and if I can get to it next weekend, those bolts will come right out. I'm glad I had gotten new ones before starting project.

Thank You, Duncan! I have air tools, hoping to make job a bit easier, though often there are times when they are too big or bulky to get into where you need to go. May possibly start this weekend. It's been nice weather lately in Maine, but I know we aren't out of the woods yet as far as snow...

Hello everyone - For years I have had an issue with the passengers rear door window cutting out. I don't use that window, because I am afraid it will quit when its down, and I will be in a mess. A few years ago, my keypad on the drivers door quit too. I pulled the electrical box apart on the...
