Should always loosen/remove the top 2 bolts first. They're a bugger enough without having extra tension on them from having the other bolts removed.

The crazy part is, I was working from the bottom my dad was supposed to be working the top but he started from the side, and nothing even started to separate yet, it's that darn e torx bolt it's pushing the wrench off when we turn it

But the fact that the upper bolts have those E12 heads and feel as if they're LocTited in to begin with, you just don't need any more stress/bind on them than necessary.

All over the road
Last weekend I posted I put 2" suspension lift and new tires on. Now the front end feels like it sways back and forth, steers fine but when I'm going straight down the road there is a Left-Right sway. I'm getting sea sick, checked everything out nothing seems obviously bad where should I start.

Well after my trip to Pittsburg this weekend and hearing the wheel bearing hum the whole trip. I decided to replace the faulty wheel bearing today, however I replace the wrong side...so instead of removing the old one I just replace the faulty one with the one I took off. It took me 4.0 hrs to do the job. All good with no noise or vibration.

And wheel bearings are best replaced in pairs.
