Nice, they even made it doable from factory. Sure is night and day compare to TJ, at least it rides like a car instead of like a tractor with bad suspension.
I hate when there's not much room to maneuver your nuts! That is a bloody tight fit eh!
Nice photo how-to BTW.

Every time I get behind the wheel of that thing I'm reminded of just how much fun it is to drive, and I can't wait to get it back on the road again. It's nice to have an alternative though, as that suspension can really wear you out on long drives!
I would have been tempted to use a small dab of superglue to temporarily attach the washer to the nut, then use a Schrade ST6 (long nose locking plier MT) to firmly hold the nut (and attached washer) exactly where I wanted it. Unless the nut was too far in for the ST6 to reach. You should always look for an excuse to involve an MT or SAK on any job described on MTo, you should know that Nice photo how-to BTW. I find it satisfying to work out how to do something myself, especially if it gets a bit fiddly or tricky, because I know not all tradesman will take care to do a thoroughly good job like I try to.

I thought it was okay too when I bought it, but now that I'm getting older, feeling like I'm driving through Rubicon trail on roads that barely felt in a civic just isn't as appealing anymore.
Latest photo of my road. For some reason it is rotated again. Stupid Tapatalk. ...DefSent from a digital multitool
So, figure it'll take them 4 months to fix it, then crumble again after 5 months?
