Post by: interloper393 on September 18, 2007, 12:14:46 PM
K guys iv removed 3 bolts from the steering linkage, it slides down with a hammer but it wont go down far enought to get the bugger out,.. im soooo close!! out of everything this is tha hardest part iv come across so far :P

Any advice or idears? iv soaked it in wd40 to see if that helps,.. also iv noticed the metal tab welded has come off.. some Conehead hit it we a hammer :Hammer
