[Shotimes] Re: spring and struts replacement

I've always found the knuckle pinch bolt to be much easier to remove, and
the joint disconnects a hell of a lot easier, but, by all means, go for the
other end. Just remember that, if you do not remove the LCA from the
knuckle, then you'll have to remove the LCA to torque-arm nut as well.
