super pivot question
i have searched, and turned up no info about super pivots and powder coating the bars that come in the 5 link kit... i was wondering it this would ruin the pivots or would it be safe?

Re: super pivot question
You need to take them out. the super pivots have plastic inserts that wouldnt handle the heat from the powdercoat oven.

Re: super pivot question
also you'll want to cover the holes that the pivot actually passes thru cause you'll take FOREVER cleaning those out trying to get the pivots back in.
we actually have larg washers and a bolt running thru the pivots whenever we p/d coat them |

Re: super pivot question
how hard is it to remove the super pivots??? i want them powdercoated, but i dont want to pay to have it done, when i have access to the powder gun and oven... (yes i am cheap i know...) and i am trying to piece together a kit as i bring money up, i want a bagged truck but will not be able to buy everything needed in one order...
looks like i will be making around 5 orders to get everything to bag it... Last edited by Noremac : 11-21-2007 at 05:34 PM. |

Re: super pivot question
why not just save your money until you can order all at once? Shipping will be less.
Do a search on the forum. I believe there is a how to on it. They are kind of a bitch to work with but you get the hang of it eventually. |

Re: super pivot question
because, my budget wont allow me to buy it all at once, and it would be well over a year before i had the lump sum of money to spend on it... so i am gonna peice it together just because it is the only way i can get results...

Re: super pivot question
theyre not too hard to get apart, youll need a long bolt, some large sockets and snap ring pliers. there is a how-to somewhere, if not, i have all the pics to write one..

Re: super pivot question
Here is the howto with all pics from back in the day. To reverse, you just compress the bushings again and remove the snap ring.

Re: super pivot question
ok, so spray paint seems a little easier than dissassembling them... i dont know, i may just order a super pivot to see if i can do it... better to waste 12 bucks instead of a link bar...
and thanks |
