Hi there guys,

Anyone has taken one of this rear control arms, I have 2 points out but the one that connects to

the hub is not coming out :D .

I have tried everything, but its not coming out, am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I need to remove, any other bolt im missing?

If anyone is bored today and can give a fellow member a hand for a few beers :) that would be really appreciated. I am in crafers BTW

Cheers.

the hub??????? hmmm...... is it R33?? I have replaced on of these on mycar when i was hit in the rear and pushed into the gutter. there is 3 points where the lower control arm is bolted. the hardest point to get unstuck is where it bolts into the knuckle - it has a tapered shaft on ball joint. you need to pull the split pin out and undo the nut. then what you need is the biggest hammer you have and a centre punch. the tapered rod should have a divet in the middle, place the centre punch in this and belt the crap out of it. this will take time!!!!! dont at any point hit the rod with just the hammer you will ruin the thread. i hope this has been help!!

enjoy!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
