Rear drivers side Toe rod removal
 
Hey guy,
I’m sure this question has been ask before but I’m trying to remove my toe rods to replace but the bolt on the drivers side can’t make it past the emergency brake cable and hits the gas tanks. Any tips or trick on how to get the bolt out?
Thanks

From BMR's Website - Using a 15/16” socket,
remove the front two cradle bolts and loosen the rear bolts. The
cradle should lower enough to remove the bolts. The full instructions are on their website, just find the toe rods and look for the instruction tab

I was able to remove the bolt without lowering the cradle. From a thread (https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=496806) I started awhile back: "You can, in fact, remove the driver's side toe link without lowering the cradle - to do this you need to remove the bolt at the knuckle as well as the brake line bracket bolt, then move the toe link up and over the knuckle and pull it towards the rear of the car will pulling on the bolt. When reinstalling make sure to flip the bolt around". With that said, lowering the cradle is fairly straight-forward, so whatever works.
