Welp I can't make it to my inspection appt today as I've spent the last 4 hours simply trying to get the rear driverside lateral arm bolt free. After a trip to the store for more tools as I later found I did not need as the lateral arm bolt has a nut on the back side...almost like a washer and some sort of holder so it doesn't move....well mine moved. I got the bolt loose but it just spins and behind I can see that stupid nut spinning.....i should be able to sawzall off the bolt and then just pull both ends of the bolt out correct? Don't even ask you know I'm more than ready to stab someone over a !%!\!\÷/!/!\!/!\!!\!\!\!\!\!\×;,$_×&_!& bolt! 
So ....cut the bolt with a sazall.....and yup the square nut thing has its on fancy place behind the most impossible area to reach ....fricken A...i tried for 4 hours to get that nut to stop spinning so I could back the bolt out...now that back piece is stuck in there? What to do now? Drill the living $hit out of it?

Would need on very long drill bit to get it from the front. If I remove the track bar I'll have more access.....although not much. Thinking about notching a small area to gain access to it from the rear....then I could just grab it out. Possibly come up with an alternative bolt and nut combo to reattach. I'd be pleased to run a bolt through the backside and attach a nut on the front.....that would tickle my fancy among other things
Sorry for the late reply! Try to HEAT up one side in order to remove the link/bolt!
Can you p/up a new Link or try to remove ball-joint! Z

Derale trans cooler installed. Simple. Cool side condensor to inlet Derale, outlet into Aux Cooler, out let aux back to transmission. Trans fluid will now be cooled 3 times, 1 factory, Derale 10000 series 16 row cooler to performance package trans cooler. Can't wait to see what my temps will be at the track and in general. At some point I will change to 90 degree fittings on top. Or even upgrade to larger cooler. Good for now.
Special thanks to BPD for inspiration from his build yet again!

The aux trans cooler on the PP works extremely well...never seen over 180F on the trans temps.

I have seen my trans temps at the track hit a maximum 205 but that was after several good beatings. After the dyno session it got into the 190's. I would like to see some normal driving temps in the 140's with the 2 coolers...its one thing to cool hot fluid but the aux cooler will get copl3r fluid to start from the Derale so it should get even colder for sure. I'd love to see trans temps not exceeding 170 at the track but bc I'll be asking more of the trans which in turn heats up the fluid even more, I'll be happy with 180.
The splitter was fun to make and it came out better than I imagined. It's nice to see a vision in your mind come to life.
