Message	I've got a pair of rear wheel hubs with new bearings and new bushings all the way around, and figured I'd swap them in whenever I got around to installing my coilovers. Theoretically, I should be able to dismantle the rear suspension with hand tools. But twice I've started this job, and twice I've aborted it, unable to loosen nuts/bolts in the confined space of the wheel well. I can't fit two breaker bars in there. Has anyone here ever done this job WITHOUT an impact wrench? (Maybe this belongs in polls...)
