Any suggestions from the peanut gallery??

Yea, so I didn't know about anti - sieze last january when I put my 4 link together, and now, well, I can't seem to get the rod ends unthreaded from the 4 link bars. I tried some PB, and let it sit for about 15 min, and that didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions???

i think the 4-link nazi just got busted!

let that pb sit longer, some times it takes a week. i had a fuel filter that i couldnt heat so i pb'd it and a week later it finally came loose.

I might be able to get my hands on a torch and heat it... how well would that work??

pb > wd-40

stick one end in a vise and twist on the other i dont know may be im thinking of the wrong thing

let it sit in some coca cola it will loosen it up

 

[tuckinrim]

if he heats the 4 link bar it will expand taking pressure off thr threads. he's not going to heat the rod end.

A little heat does wonders.

Matt, last time I had this problem, I took the bars off the truck, and sprayed them with penetrating oil, and left them hanging up so the oil would run down inside. I left them like that over night, and they came apart in the morning. And if that doesn't do it, then go for the heat like the others said.

 

[SlammedDime]

Alright.... I'll spray 'em with more oil right now, and let 'em hang. And if that don't work.... i'll get the blow torch out :evilg:

Now another fuckin problem...

I was unbolting the last lower 4 link bar from the axle mount, and the bolt seemed to strip itself inside the threads on the axle mount. So now i can't get the 4 link bar off of the axle mount. This is not, of course, how i planned this whole thing to go... Any suggestions on this new problem?? I can't just cut the bolt off, cuz its threaded inside the mount, there is no nut for it.

If you have a big POS flat head you can try to tap it in between the head of the bolt and the bracket to put a little wedge on it. Then slowly start trying to back the bolt out. I have done this and been succesful on occasions..... its either that or cut the biotch off.

Cut the fugger...it'll be easier.
