Sorry, I didn't have a working signature file. My name is Bruce Stevenson,
and I was the one who twisted off all the A arm hardware. I now have another
problem or three. While attempting to replace the steering rack boots, we
couldn't get the right tie rod end off. The jam nut is frozen on and the tie
rod end will not hammer up. I tried heat from my propane torch, but no go.
Any suggestions?
Also replaced seals in clutch slave cylinder. Now it won't bleed. Keep
getting air coming down the bleed hose. I have the end immersed in brake
fluid and close the bleed screw on the upstroke. Could air enter via a worn
hose or something.
Please help, as Sean is getting ready to trash this thing and buy a North
American truck.
I start the great chore of replacing all windshield rubber on my own B
tomorrow. Oh boy.
Bye.
