It's all in the manual.

Toe arm bolt

So I took it to 3 shops. First one spent 20 mins on it with an air hammer and no luck, second spent 5 minutes and gave up, third guy was a lucky find. He spent over an hour using every tool on it he has and after a while, he banged it out. It was stuck to the backing plate, he took it out, cleaned for me. Gave me more instructions on how to do the rest and when I asked how much I owe him, he said "I'd kill for a coffee right now" went got him one with a box of donuts as a thank you. He even offered to do my alignment for 50 bucks cash. He's a small shop with like 2 guys working with him. I finally found a trustable Mechanic !!

Thanks everyone for your patience with me!! It's working great and the sound is gone!!
@Ultramaroon especially you, thanks for all your help man I truly appreciate you keeping up with my thread!! You helped out a lot and if u lived near Toronto, I'd buy u lunch haha.

Holy shit. You had better marry that guy. He's a keeper. Mention his shop here and in your regional forum!

Congrats, man. And I'd take you up on lunch if I still lived across the pond from you.
