I’m not too optimistic as everything on this truck has been well used, abused, under maintained with shoddy work performed by so called mechanics that shouldn’t have a wrench in their hand.

I decided a press was my best option so I went to Harbor Freight to buy their 20 ton press on sale for $145 today but they didn’t have any. This particular store just opened this spring. I have been there three times and three times they didn’t have what I wanted. I’ll have to try another store. Hopefully 20 tons with a torch, infrared thermometer, penetrating oil will do the trick. Oh no, I forgot prayer!
