ok, as some of you all know I am in the middle of a project build up on my GSX.
I am running into some difficulties and need some help. I have a Chiltons and haynes books, I also have the repair manual on cd (BTW cant figure out how to load correctly) but I am still having some stuborn difficulties and such.
this post may become quite long as the project continues, but I will appreciate all the help I can get with this.

thanks for the space!!!!!

First Question:
does anyone have a simple way to get the spindle nuts off of a '93???
I have the cotter key out and have been hammering on it for a couple of hours with a 450 ft/lbs impact. I have also drowned it in PB Blaster. (BTW the pass. side came off with in a few min of getting at it with the impact.)

Second: do I just use a regular puller to get the hub assembly off???
and why does my hub assembly look like the hub assembly from a FWD according to Chiltons???

luck was on my side tonight as I completed the front suspension and brake system install successfully... my pass. side rear is mostly put back together

the only thing left on the front suspension part is getting the new energy suspensions sway bar bushings installed....
it seems that the bushings are the wrong size because of how stiff they are but they measure out excactly what the stock ones do... I guess I have to just keep on it and I will get it... any suggestions???

the only thing murphy kicked my ass on this time is a drivers side wheel stud stripped at the back side teeth that hold it to the hub... thus the wheel won't come off.... trying more things next time I work on it.... any suggestions?????
