16 Ounces of Fury!!!
Well, I did something tonight that I am rather proud of. Jtrux stopped by the house tonight and did his best to get my lazy *$s off the couch, after about 30 minutes I was awake and ready to do something. We decided to tear into the raised steering arm that I ordered the other day. I have changed these before and usually it takes the better part of a day to remove the cones and get the old arm off. After about 30 minutes of removing the front tire, unbolting suspension parts and coating everything with a good dose of P.B. Blaster, we were ready to take a stab at removing the cones. This is the amazing part. It only took about 20 minutes of banging with my MANSIZED 16oz claw hammer, and POOF…the old arm was off. I was shocked that I got it off so easily. Jtrux was no help at all, of course. After that, we put on the new part, bolted everything back up, greased the steering joints, and took her around the block. The new arm made a lot of difference in the way the truck behaves in the parking lot atmosphere. I couldn’t be happier with our 1 hour of work!
Here are some pictures from beginning to end, sorry the quality isn't the best.
