Simple Question - Stock Panhard Bar Bolt on Rear End - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GoaterAz · 12-31-2014, 10:58 AM

I've done some research on removing this bolt, from what I gather, it is pressed in but I can't seem to find which direction it comes out. I have it soaking in PB Blaster and I am going to hit it with a BFH, should I hit on side A or B? lol...

Thank you in advance.

side "a" give it a good whack. you also could try hitting the ear like popping a bj or tie rod.

Perfect, Thanks for the help guys.

Pipe wrench will pop it right loose. Just give it a little twist and it will release.

Thanks guys, two fairly easy wacks with a 5lb. hammer and it came right out.

When I was searching I found your recommendation, as well. I actually had to google 'pipe wrench'...this is literally my first rodeo, lol. So I learned two things today.

I bet that wrench would almost work better too if the rear end/bed were still installed and there wasn't much room two swing the hammer.

My rear end is uninstalled, so the hammer route was cake.
