Evening All,
I'm after some tips if possible. I'm changing the A-Frame Bushes and Ball Joint this weekend in preparation for the whole suspension next weekend. However, I've hit a snag.
I've got all the bolts out of the A-Frame brackets on the chassis without to much issue (Plus Gas and a good Buzz Gun is priceless!) and that's currently sat loose.
I have the 30mm Ball Joint nut off (again, a decent buzz gun here is wonderful!) and I've been slowly driving in my ball joint splitter but the thing just wont pop! I've put some serious time and abuse into hitting it in and I just cant get enough force to properly split it!
Does anyone have any tips here?
I may have to resort to heating the the axle bracket, try and get it to open up a little, but that requires asking a favour of a relative to get me some more gas, so may have a couple hours in the morning to try other options!
Any help appreciated!
Once it's all out I've got to get it all done and back on tomorrow! So if I can get it out in the morning it would be good! Can then get burning out the old bushes !
Thanks in advance!
