So does an MTX take longer to take the suspension out? I find that I have to take the tension off or the torsion springs to get the bolts out. Also I am upgrading my w arm and having problems getting the Allen bolt set screws out. Any suggestions, I twisted an Allen wrench clear off. Soaking them in pb blaster now.

Those can get seized up pretty bad. I once had to bang one off using a hammer, marring the shaft, then cleaning it up and grinding down the set screw from inside. I then drilled and tapped another hole and used stainless screws. Anti-seize is also your friend.
