    this https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/products/torque-rod-end-for-m35-series-trucks-7521831 is the press in part, my lower 4 arms came out with relative ease and a 20 ton press took care of the removal/installation of the joints, not every truck may give up its arms without a fight so try to...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    that was a drag, it worked but it didn't wanna, soapy water didn't get it moving but while under tension allowed easier cutting and once it was 3/4 through it folded and started it's way out of the tire, aborted the brute force route when i felt i was about to break something with my hoist in...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    popped the joints 4 that faced the wheels all with about the same amount of persuasion from a 3# maul, the 4 that faced inward received direct smacks as i don't care about saving the threads and popped easily. yea i was expecting more of a pain in the butt and have been putting off doing them as...
