Thanks. Seems like I'm screwed since all autoparts store here closed already by this hour.Pitman tool. Many auto parts stores offer a free rental. Get the smaller one. Or you can buy it for about $15.
Wow, this wold've worked before I banged it, but I banged it without the hex and now it's all deformed so it wouldn't fit back in. .I'll keep this in mind for the next one I do. Thanks for the suggstion.If you can protect the end of the bolt with a hex nut, many people simply whack the bolt HARD with a big ass hammer to get it loose. I prefer the more elegant use of the Pitman tool, but you may have no other choice right now.
Lol, I'll get it off tomorrow with the pittman.dude....you had to use a pitman arm ball joint remover. the ball joint bolt is tapered
Yeah, I'll definitely do it better next time.It looks like this old man learned something
today too. Thanks for this thread.
