and a vice. Heck, I'd be happy to just find a flashlight that works around here. Been that kind of day...
I used to wheel a lot. . .
Howdy SubscriberHowdy SubscriberSounds like my kind of day though I did get my bump stops welded on and a couple u-bolts replaced, but it was a battle the whole time. I even ended up breaking my vice. My son wanted us to get the tires back on and go for a spin, but by that time I had had enough frustration so we called it a day and came in and had lunch.

Did you try a pickle fork and a BFH?It's threaded, how's a pickle fork going to help?
I've never seen a TRE threaded into the pitman arm. You'll see threads where you removed the castle nut, but those threads don't go all the way through the pitman arm. Where the TRE goes through the pitman arm it should have a smooth tapered fit.- JohnDF Member Joined: July 2003JohnDF started this Member Joined: July 2003

Lighter? 😀
I have a little propane torch you can borrow, but for what it would cost in gas to get it to you, you could probably buy one. - JohnDF Member Joined: July 2003JohnDF started this Member Joined: July 2003
I'll get it figured out. I need a torch and a vice. Might be time to visit Sears.
