On gen 2, does anyone have a good way to do the bushings? I can't get the rear bolt to unfasten easily because a socket does not fit well against the body. The angle is too steep to use a ujoint extension. And a wrench works but requires so oooooo oooooo much turning that 20 minutes a bolt with a ratchet becomes 1 hour a bolt with a wrench

How about a ratcheting wrench? I had a similar problem and grabbed a metric set with flex heads, they usually can get any bolt I normally would have trouble with.

Unfortunately, there is very little clearence for it to work good..... the bolt placement really just comes down to being rubbish. If they had threaded the bolt from the frame UP, it would have been MUCH better.

I was able to get it with a very small ratchet and a very short 1/2 inch socket... because they were cheap, haha. I also used some homemade penetrating fluid of paint thinner and transmission fluid, which allowed it to turn easier.
