panHARD to get off bar
Hi Guys,
I am in the process of removing the rear from under my truck. Any suggestions on the easiest way to remove the panhard bar? Rear jacked up rear down. I got the nut off the stud with the use of a 5' cheater bar on my ratchet and the same for the bolt and nut on the other end. I hit my head once ![]() ![]() |

Re: panHARD to get off bar
I just finished doing this myself on my 70 model. its a real pain in the ass. I eventually got the stupid thing off after probably a good 8 hours of work trying to save the bushings I finally got mad and smokewrenched thebushings out then pulled the bar, the collar on the inside of the bushings was seized on the shaft and I had to run a air chisel down the split in the bushing to break it loose. dont do all the work I did trying to save it just buy new bushings!

Re: panHARD to get off bar
FLAME. lite it on fire! Just like the trailing arm bushings, these things have been on there for 35 plus years, I think they are stuck.

Re: panHARD to get off bar
Thanks guys, I used all your input. No teeth missing and the bar is off. Good old smoke wrench, and new bushings are on the list. Thanks again. This board is great. Later, Rich
