<< < (2/2)

calvynandhobbs:
I just had too much going on yesterday to help, but you found what I almost always find. The hardest part is getting the old parts off. The new parts almost always just mount right up.

GreenGrandV8:
yeah im glad i sprayed all the trac bar frame mount bolts down with some wd-40 and changed the tie rod while those were soaking. and i still had to use a small pipe for some leverage gettin them out. went back on ok though. now i think im gonna go work on some of my trails out back today, hopefully theres still a little mud

WD-40 is not a a penetrating oil hence not made for tight bolts, recommend using PB blaster. In some cases WD-40 can make things worst, like aluminum it chemically reacts and turn its kinda mushy. Just my $.02

I was about to say the same thing.PB blaster works way better anyways.

GreenGrandV8:
all i had was wd40, i useually have some pb around but didnt feel like goin out
