I harvested '92 uca's & '99 spindles last weekend. It was getting close to closing time & I couldn't get the upper ball joints on the '99 to separate (even with a BMFH & pickle fork), so I cut the "arms" they are mounted in as well as the sway bar links. Upon reflection, I think I may need that part....the '92's are still there albiet w/the uca's removed, tires still on & sitting on the ground.
How can they be removed from the spindle in the yard? (no jacks or torches allowed).
Remove the nut, pound a chisel in to separate the slot?
I am going back on Sat morn. I will not be able to go junkin' for at least a month after that, so Sat. is the day.....
Side note, I broke a craftsman 12 pt 12 mm 1/2 drive socket on the pinion flange. I also tried a box wrench & hammer to shock it loose & failed, (due to a damaged arm & not enough room to swing the hammer).
My cordless impact also gave it's life that day.
All suggestions are welcome.....
