Might let the alignment shop do that one since it's gotta go over there anyway. Don't wanna beat on it til it craters but might still be stuck, ya know?Tried my air hammer but the OEM stud has the long skinny unthreaded part so keeping the bit on target is very tricky.08-08-2024 Took another stab at it and did finally get the idler arm out.. just had to get mad at it[ATTACH=full]1490[/ATTACH]New one installed and greased.  It came with that remote greasing hose kit but honestly there's easy enough access in here that I didn't install it.  Maybe when I go to grease it the next time or two, I might change my mind...[ATTACH=full]1491[/ATTACH]08-14-2024 Redneckinator alignment accomplished. Guy says everything is pretty tight, so I'm not gonna worry about the pitman arm anytime soon. I did upper and lower ball joints a while back, as well as wheel bearings. Just did inner, outer tie rods and idler arm w/bracket. Now it just needs 2 new tires..[ATTACH=full]1492[/ATTACH]08-15-2024 Oil change and minor A/C work for the Redneckinator. Service ports were leaking a little bit so I replaced them, got it on vacuum for a while then will charge it up.[ATTACH=full]1493[/ATTACH]Richard</blockquote>
