Listers,
I am preparing for a front and rear suspension rebuild this winter.=C2=A0 A=
s I research this, I learned the rear springs have a pin that goes through =
the frame rail and after 56 years is most likely rusted in place.
The manual says thread a 5/16 x 24 bolt with washers in from the rail side =
a pull the bolt out (after removing caster nut and pin).=C2=A0=C2=A0
1.=C2=A0 Clean out the threads on the center of car side2.=C2=A0 It looks l=
ike a tight space and only enough room for a 2 inch bolt to fit.3.=C2=A0 Th=
e threads on a 2 inch bolt only go half way up, so I purchased a few large =
washers and will try the screw bolt into head and use pry bar to remove pin=
.
not really expecting it to work
I think the other option, and where I am seeking the wisdom of the list is:
IF I can find a 24 thread bolt or rod (of 2 inches) have a nut at the top n=
ext to bolt head or if rod 2 nuts, add large washers and some type of pipe =
(but it will most likely be only 1 inch long).=C2=A0 Screw rod into the pin=
head.=C2=A0 Secure head of bolt or rod and turn the nut to press washers a=
nd pipe onto the frame with an internal diameter slightly larger than the b=
olt head.=C2=A0 Keep tightening until pin comes out.
Do I have this right?=C2=A0 any other thoughts or advice here?
has anyone used the Go2 socket?=C2=A0 Screw 5/16 bolt into pin head and tur=
n the Go2 until it releases the pin???
thanks for your helpErkan
