So, the first really 'bad day' of the build - I didn't expect it to come so early! The SVA covers for the track rod ends are the long things that you need to cut the end off. The covers on the end of the track rod ends already are just protectors that can be discarded. In order to split the track rod ball joints so that I could get the right SVA covers back on I needed to buy a splitter. The first one came apart okay but on the second one I damaged the gaiter and put a slight score in the disk.
Then my trolley jack pissed oil all over the garage floor.
Then I gave up for the second time.
