If my network ever comes back up, perhaps someone could answer a few
questions for me. Shirley's front end is lying in pieces on my garage floor,
and I'm having a REALLY bad day.
#1 Can anyone tell me what the construction of a front sway bar link is? All
the books, manuals, etc. show it as one piece, but it is not. I cannot
seperate it from the spring pan due to the nut turning. The link doesn't
turn, just the bolt or whatever the nut is threaded to.
#2 How to seperate a lower fulcrum pin from an A-arm? Siezed solid. Soaked
it in WD-40 overnight. "I can't do it, Captain! I just don't have the
power!" I assume heat to one part or the other? When heat is applied to a
metal object with a hole in it, does the hole get bigger or smaller?
(Physics is not my strong point).
#3 What is a brand name of an "anti-sieze" compound?
#4 Best rubber lubricant for installing bushings? I've seen WD-40 mentioned,
but isn't that petroleum based, and therefore detrimental to rubber?
AS always, your help is greatly appreciated.
