But now I'm still stuck on one of my shock bolts. it is spinning in the frame. Pretty sure the bolt and nut are just corroded and aren't breaking free. I hit it with map gas and was able to sneak a 17mm wrench in to maybe grab hold of the nut in there. Still no luck. So I'm going to try and sneak in there and cut it out in the morning.
If I can't get it, how bad will it be if I drive to a auto place maybe a mile from me to have them get it out? Think she will be fine?

Chirping Pulley
So I have had this chirp for a while now so I did the sensible thing and threw a bunch of parts at it to see if it would fix it, (AC Bypass, Idler and a new belt) it didn't. So I was down at pepboys picking something up and had them do some kind of ac system check or other for $20, where they diagnose where the noise is coming from. So an hour later they "think" it's the water pump bearing going out. I have the belt off now trying to figure it out for my self now. How freely should the water pump spin by hand? Does it normally make any noise spinning it by hand? I have a stethoscope, but it hasn't helped me much. Thank for the help.
