Elegant solution!!!! When I did my left side, my 62 fairlane was parked right where my knuckles would end up when the pin broke loose. I managed to not break a knuckle, but it was a bit spooky Mark

Just alittle small town ingenuity

All the beers may have had a part in it too.

Got the bottom ones out like Mark instructed having a hard time holdin the axle to get the top ones out.

can you use another car or something to wedge it against a wall or something?...Mark

Gonna try somthn like that had one guy say he parked a ram charger on his to hold it.

hahaha yeah, sorry, should've put "insert additional vehicle here" instead of saying i put the ramchager there

rrfarm

I was being serious my second vehicle is a Ford Ranger don't know if that will work but probably gonna try it. Ill let you know what I came up with. All ideas are appreciated.

texsasdiesel

i don't see why it wouldn't. it should be heavier than the pressure it will take w/ a cheater bar to break the kp's loose

rrfarm

Here's a couple pics. Decided the kp's were questionable enough to go ahead and replace them. And the other pic is what i like to call a little redneck ingenuity and it worked like a charm. Everyone can feel free to use this perfected method at their leisure. This just goes to show there's more than one way to choke a dog besides on butter.

I read some of the old posts on this subject but to be up to date who has the best parts at the best price for the whole rebuild kit now?

Ingenious, way to go. Those pins look bad to me, but what do I know anyway ...Mark

I the one learning so I would say im the one that don't know much I was about to let them slide til I started talking to you guys. Thanks a bunch maybe one of these days I can pass the along some info that might help somebody else.

I love the tele pole trick.

I'm going to chain my wife to the pole out in front of my house the next time she give's me any backtalk..

That will teach her !



BTW,

What size is the allen wrench, or that special tool that you guys used in the "removal process ?

Would like to eventually do my KP's, and I don't think I have an allen that large.

T, IIRC it's 7/8th" hex. Some guys just chop a hunk off of stock...Mark
