Guest Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 I believe you may have to go from inside the frame which may require dropping the lower control arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 i had the same problem with my 72, i didnt wanna pull the lower arm, so i just left it out and put in the other two. it has worked just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I put these pads in a 67 GS. The pads mount forward and yes the one bolt is a bear. It took me a while but I finally got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK3001964 Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I use a long 1/4" drive extension and a swivel socket,a little tight but all the bolts are in ant tight.( use locktight on the threads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
