   nope.
   
   Good luck. Not as bad as a lot of people will have you believe generally, but if they are seized, prepare for an afternoon of hurt frankly.
   
   How will you lower it when they're out?

   I meant the "method" you plan to use - I don't want you to use the "click"/"notch" method...

    Do what I did. Get a trade size can of WD40 and spray the Gits to kingdom come. They came out like butter

    Never got it done because when I went to take the torx bolt out of the passenger side the heads nearly rounded off so at some point it looks like some mug has already tried to lower it and never ,just rounded the fecking heads off so now I'm snookered
