Man i wished I saw this video before attempting to remove that nut! Lol mine broke right off even after soaking it with penetrating oil. Plan to just tack weld the washer. Lol
I had assumed that they had sent me the ones for a lowered car when I set them against the car while it was jacked up, so that job had moved down my to-do list. Doh. Just need to jack each side of the axle one by one. Will give it a go when I get some time. Would assume that jacking the second side up becomes more difficult with the first one in place... ? Will share my findings. ;-)
You show that the lower nut often gets seized on the stud. Would it make sense to mount the new nut with some copper grease or other anti-seize grease? That would make life easier for the next guy who needs to replace the strap.
Great video! I add anti seize to the sleeve and bolts/nuts so that in the future I will not have easier time removing them.

Yes , I forgot to mention using something on the threads would be helpful for any future work 👍🏻
Where do you get those straps?
I got those from Moss motors
