On re-assembly starting with the left front and my new "Peter Built" shocks, new brake disks and new wheel bearings and seals I screwed the fulcrum pin in as far as it would go (It went in easily) then realized I had not centered the hollow on the fulcrum pin so the cotter pin could be inserted through the king pin. No problem I thought... (yeah... sure!) Just unscrew the fulcrum pin and put it back in more carefully so that the cotter pin can be inserted. It wouldn't budge. Got the biggest, nastiest straight blade screw driver (think BFS here) I could find but still no luck. Now I can't get the fulcrum pin to unscrew!! But it came out easily and went back in easily! What has changed?? I haven't tried heat yet but did soak it with PB Blaster to no avail. Anybody else been here before?? WWFD?? I hate to use a sawzall on the fulcrum pin because everything fit so well going back together. Thinking of using an impact driver on it to see if that will free it.
