DavidF, glad to hear you got yours out easy enough. I've got my axel back from shop and put back under the truck. While it was out I discovered that the front spring shackel bolts were froze up. So I removed, cleaned and put new zurks in reinstalled, now all is good except wheel bearings on right side. Ordered new ball bearing type just for that side,now waiting for them to arrive. I keep getting so close to having it safe and then I find something else wrong. Now the new master cydr. is leaking at plunger end and at main seal at rear.As you can tell this is my drug of choice! Ha! Got to love rusty trucks
