And no I didn't get a new one. Where would I get one of those bolts?
you don't. There are maybe 5 or six OEM in the country as of last year. A new bolt should have been included with the UCA, did you keep the packaging?

Yeah, I did on the front one, but that didn't work on the rear one.
I would have had I had an 18mm ratcheting box wrench.
Onkelmicke - I was cussin' the accumulator for the A/C, and the Teves Mk II I had when I did my first LCAs, but otherwise, it was doable.
Potschotscott - for your next time, GET ONE. I'm surprised you even tried without; it's almost impossible to get into the side at the ABS unit on a 1st gen WITH it, and I'd hate to try a 1st gen WITHOUT it.

I will have to do the drivers side when I can get the LH UCA for it. And yeah the ABS looks to be in the way.
Did you manage to get the correct torque on the nut with the flag left on the bolt?
Onkel
Torque the nut.. if you can. Otherwise what I did was using a 3" extension, and 6pt socket, reached behind the spring with the ratchet and tightend it up as much as I could, then with the torque wrench. I put a loose monkey wrench on the nut to just sort of hold it still while I torqued the bolt.I will have to do the drivers side when I can get the LH UCA for it.
