I used a max access socket wrench and an Allen wrench with some leverage from the spring compressor. But I've read you can uncompress the springs while still in the car. Last photo:

Getting a few items installed. Actually not today but, ongoing all last week. They ended up welding the Autopower bar in place as they were not happy with the bolt solution. Schroth 6 point Clubman harness, SPL control arms and adjustable rear toe links, Whiteline control arm bushings, Whiteline bumpsteer/roll center correction kit, Recaro Profi SPG XL seats and then headliner removed to get my 6'5" body to fit in car with helmet on, a lot of room to be gained with headliner removed for those tall people out there, but it gets ugly with all the wires....airbags!

So I've heard! Going to take it slow and remain calm. And I've got homebrew on tap for when I'm done and need a cold one!

I did her first oil change and also installed a Fumoto Oil Valve (ODO: 1647 miles, Mobil 1 Full Syn 0W-20).

The OEM oil bolt was seriously stuck on... I felt like I was going to do some damage trying to get it off...
