Message	I was changing my upper A-arms and non-surprisingly, 2 of the nuts rounded off. I was fighting with them for days and couldn't get them out. Then Mark @ Autobahnwheels gave me a suggestion: I got this Craftsman bolts/nuts remover set from Sears. Quite pricey at around $50, but 15 minutes after, these 2 POS are OUT!!!! Here you can see a close-up on my desperate attempt to cut the 17mm nut with a dremel...... which of course, didn't work. And just to show you how it looks like now with the A-arm and tension rod on the passenger side. Now I just have to find 2 new nuts (17mm and 14mm), then I'll be done! Woohoo! Can anyone tell me where I can find them? Do I have to go to the dealer or does Home Depot has those? I remember they don't carry many metric screws/nuts/bolts, mainly standard size....
