just the suspension parts

And only 167,000 miles on them!
You would expect better than that from a profit driven corporation.

 

1) No gots air hammer. No gots room to swing it.
2) a Sawzall runs in a very narrow space because the blade moves in the same plane as the motor housing.

Where I come from ya don't swing an air hammer!

 

Penetrating oil does wonders....

Now try to get that air hammer with its bit installed, pointing straight up in an 18 inch tall space.
If you do, flip the switch to run it backwards because you have to pull the bolt out of the sleeve.

Good idea, but I think a Sawzall will work faster and do less damage to my sore muscles.
ps, there is no point in trying to salvage anything. All the parts come in the kit...bolts, spacer sleeves, bumpers, nuts...the works. If Harry Potter was real, I could, "evanesco" the whole vertical link assembly and lose nothing of importance.

If you would have more confidence, you would actually try the spell before complaining that a real Harry Potter is not available to wave his holly wand.

No fair! You didn't tell me it was accessible from only one side!

I did. I have a magic wand, of my own design. Eleven inches, red oak, rather stiff, gripping bulge between the first and second finger. It has a magical core consisting of 40 years of friendship and I carry it in my van at all times.

Be nice, Gopher. HP has been very helpful to me on several occasions...just she sucks at automobile work.

Be nice, Gopher.

I did put some effort into being nice by taking the time to add the word "essentially".

Why do I get the feeling I'm missing a joke...?

I'm with you. Arduino is so high-level that you can't really learn with it. The Arduino is for people who don't know what they're doing who want to make a one-time project. If you want to learn how to use micros, start with straight PICs or AVRs and program in assembly. THAT is how you learn how micros work and how to use them.

Speaking as a happy Arduino user (that has used it for multiple professional internal projects as well as hobby stuff)

We don't care how micros work (low-level wise)..
All we need to know is "will this micro allow me to accomplish my project"

Its like saying people shouldn't drive cars if they don't understand the internal combustion process inside and out..
Or we can't use computers unless you understand hardware abstraction layers,etc..

I believe that this world would be quite a bit different if someone didn't come out with the Arduino (or something like it)..
I can almost guarantee you wouldn't even have 1/5th the number of people trying to work with micros like you do now..
It would still just be all you "low-level geeks"

I think you haven't read any Harry Potter books.

 

I believe that this world would be quite a bit different if someone didn't come out with the Arduino (or something like it)..

I have no objection to using the right tool for the job, but I keep seeing people posting questions here about how to use an Arduino to charge a battery of turn a light bulb on at night. To me, that's like saying, "I can't get to my mail box, 60 feet away, without driving a car."

Like, Why use 4 transistors when you can use an Arduino?

 

@Hypatia's Protege:
"Inasmuch as the article 'comment feature' doesn't seem to work (for opinions at odds with 'the narrative' anyway) I offer my 'take' here:"

Just want to be clear - We approve all comments unless they are spam. They are manually approved, however. You posted late at night, I approved it when I woke. Enough with the drama perhaps?

"I can't reach my light switch without getting up off my couch".

I respectfully submit that a difference exists between 'works' and works well/ "is efficiently applied"

Its like saying people shouldn't drive cars if they don't understand the internal combustion process inside and out..

And I would say that it's like saying cartographic illiteracy makes for inefficient travel --- Now had you said 'Its like saying people shouldn't ride buses....' you would have 'had me' --- IOW, in the context of your analogy, I assert that Arduino is not a 'car' but, rather, a ticket agent

I believe that this world would be quite a bit different if someone didn't come out with the Arduino (or something like it)..

So do I

I can almost guarantee you wouldn't even have 1/5th the number of people trying to work with micros like you do now..

Perhaps not -- howbeit it is my stance that that scant 20%'s 'dearth of numbers' would be more than compensated by their quality of expertise

With absolutely no aspersion upon the OP!

Those people are simply trying to create projects that match whats being offered as consumer devices now..
Back in your "day" you saw you could by an AM radio at the local hardware store.. Then a DIY AM radio kit was available and you rushed to build your own..
The same is true today.. The devices/functions have just changed with the times..
There are numerous "IOT" devices being offered to the public.. and sure enough.. plenty of DIY control a light bulb through the internet projects being accomplished.

And of course we all start somewhere in the learning process and we know if you try to bite off too much at one time you can/will get burned out..
