Yup, I tried the hammer with a length of solid round steel stock I got from
a machinist buddy... didn't get them to budge. Finally I said **** it and put the puller on them, and tightened as tight as my 180lb body could throw myself, then hammered (bfh) on top of the puller. Almost broke the puller but WOOOO they're out now and tomorrow morning I finish putting it back together. I had to take the axles back out cuz I put a zerk fitting on the bottom ball joints, then greased them and put the axles back in, but when they're back in the ujoints will hit the fittings when they move... I have to put in the plug fitting to just seal them up. DOH! Thanks for all your help guys, I was about to give up and tow it to a shop. |
