After using paint stripper the diffs and springs had to be removed from the vehicle. Getting what was left of the nylon bushes out of the frame was a real pain in teh ahole. Oh did I mention the difficulty in getting the tie rods to seperate and in getting the forward steering box arm to seperate? Well I discovered, much like primates do, that if you dont have a heavy enough hammer then just get a bigger wind up and smash the component harder with the hammer you have. Yes, yes, for all you vehicle buffs out there I did use a tie rod seperator on teh tie rods but the steering box required a crow bar and some crazy hammer swings to seperate, fortunately I am replacing it!
