Picked up my 280 about three or four years ago, my job transferred me and i had to stop working on it mid restoration, videos like this are Hella motivating!!!
my spindles weren't thaaaat bad. first make sure you have the bolt that goes into the notch removed. Put your penatrant in through that hole, let it sit. Hit the pin with a dead blow (dead blow is critical) or press it while you work the hinge back and fourth. Once you get it to move one way hit it the other way and keep applying penetrating oil. Once its gone back and fourth a few times it should come out at lot easier. when reinstalling start with a new part and maybe wire brush the hole out really good.
Oh of course that mid bolt was removed. These pins were just as hard to remove on my own car. Any car that’s seen rust / has lived in the North East is likely to have this issue. (Hence why they make the tool! Haha) I’d count yourself lucky, my man! But good luck to anyone attempting this job - it’d be nice of it was always that easy!
@@TheCurbCut As a fellow Newyawker in the area that you're in i was surprised to see you using jack stands in the video why struggle when you have a lift?
Did you know that this song is in German ? He said "If I were a dog instead of a human" and "How do I become a dog?" its a little weird to hear, if you know xD 10:30 Min
Nissan literally sold the over fenders to the general public so they could have them homologated for the Nissan race cars. So it has a Nissan part number..... And that's what "stock" part means. Your just hating
Your last words were spot on... you gotta do sacrifices for the bigger picture. Nicely done.
Much appreciated, friend. Thank you.

@@TheCurbCut aaah yeah my car was from south ga.
Reusing a factory sway bar after spending 10K on T3 stuff is disappointing. :( ST Suspension makes an affordable upgrade.
Looks amazing fitment is soooooooo good may I ask what the spec of the watts are 9.5 up front 10.5 rear???

Not gonna lie interesting to see a shop working on cars on jackstands, especially in NY.
@@Theonewhoknocks-s4b What is that supposed to mean??

@@Theonewhoknocks-s4b 4 post lift vs 2 post lift - also dialing in fitment tends to be easier when closer to the ground.

Everyone is entitled to their own ideas on poetic license! Haha
there are more datsuns with black minilites, overfenders, and fender mirrors than stock ones at this point...
And more people who miscategorize wheels, I guess…
Damn that’s cool. Glad it makes you mad.
