(Pro Tip) don't put the Car too far forward on the Hoist!
Back when I was a 'young chap' we didn't have 'Tranny Jacks' so we had to use Floor Jacks & a lump of 4 x4 & whilst trying to get a Rear Ball joint back in, each pump of the jack would get me a little closer but didn't realise the weight had also come off of the rear arms of the 2 post hoist(ours was the kind with the 'slip joints that you squeezed together to adjust but the springs were stuffed.
Consequently the car did a big sideways shuffle & partly came off the Hoist (thankfully it was a Race Car) one hell of a pucker moment let me tell you!

The cam bolts on my daughter's old northern-Pennsylvanian High Yoon Day were frozen solid. The alignment guy hosed it down with Thrust; I soaked it with PB Blaster every other day for three weeks. My kid took it back to the alignment guy and the bolts were no longer stuck.

My late Dad, who did DIY work on vehicles told me that generally the right side of a vehicle get more dirt and moisture from the road than the left side which probably accounts for Eric having more of a hard time with the right rear.

of course they are OEM, otherwise you would cut them in pieces and even starting making them smaller as well you would let know everyone your opinion about aftermarket stuff. so what?

Do you ever use heat induction on the cam bolts to get them loose? Our shop is considering getting one. I am looking for anything that might work on the long rear Subaru bolts.

Eric,
Great video and fix - thank you!
The sound 3: 22 was worth the whole thing! Wish we could have seen the struggle with Victor on the other side.

Cracks me up. My local alignment shop tried to tell me my 09 odyssey does not have rear adjustment. I pointed out the adjustment bolts.
Now I'll take this video to them

Eric I always appreciate it when you tell me to cover my eyes. And what you said about potential energy Don t want it to become kinetic energy. Truer words were never spoken.

With a lift and decades of experience this is a 10 minute job. Me in my driveway it's a solid 2 hours! I don't miss the days when I insisted on doing work like this myself.
