Re: steering arm removal????

you have to be really careful not to bend the ends of the axle shaft when removing the u-joint cups. i use a torch and cut the entire center portion of the joint out of the way. the extra heat will loosen the rust around the cups making removal much easier once the C-clips are removed. as said before, clean everything very well prior to re-assembly.. i use a little grease on the inside holes of the axle shaft to make the new cups slide easier.
another thing to do is clean out the axle tubes before sliding the axles back in, otherwise you can ruin the inner seal and those seals are not fun to replace.
