Hey i began and just about finished the bolt tightening for my 4c coupe. I say it wasnt that bad but there are some bolts I cannot figure out how to fully access. If anyone has some tips let me know. The ones im having trouble with are...
1. The e18 size bolt at the rear subframe to tub. Ive been about to get about 4 of the 8. The ones on the driver side near the intercooler are that hardest to get. I think maybe getting a shorter e18 socket may help. Currently its an extended one. Approx 2.5 inches in length.
2. The cross member extending from the center of the engine compartment toward the rear, and then ends underneath the coolant overflow tank. There are bolts below it. 3 in a triangle and one in front. I can get the one in front but not the other 3.
3. The roll over bar? Its at the back window and going upward. I can access some of the bolts but not all. i think remove rear fenders would make these all easier but i dont want to....
any tricks or special tools that help these? The front end was not very difficult. There are a couple torx bolts on the door hinges that im not sure how to get either but the door hinges were all tightening otherwise.
Thanks in advance for the help
