[Roadsters] lower a arms and spindle nut size

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Tim,

I assume you are referring to the large bushings which thread onto the lower 
link spindles, and have the zirc fittings in them.  If so, they're 1-3/8 
inches.  (They measure 1.32 across the flats, so an 1-3/8 socket will do 
fine.)  Since these bushings are a press-type fit into the lower A-arms 
(they're pulled into place when the bush is threaded onto the spindles), so 
you'll probably need a torque wrench to get them off.

Bubba,

Are you out there?  Please weigh in on this one.  I've only been told heard 
how these are assembled/diassembled.

Gary
