I bought the kit from Classic Parts a while ago and finally got the ends out of it. Now I'm trying to put everything back together but the two ends are different sizes, so I can only get the spring, cap and threaded cap in one side.
Does anyone know how to put this back together? Are the springs supposed to be different sizes? I noticed that both ends of the drag link are about the same size but where the ball sits is 1/2" further out on one side. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 257 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 257 | Ahhhhhh. (as one of my professors used to say, "the sound of learning.") I see the error of my ways and also see why I can't find the other spring around. It's still under the half-round cap that I can't get out.
Thanks a lot, Stuart. I'm off to the garage. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | ''I bought the kit from Classic Parts [i][i]a while ago [/i][/i]'' Oh! i see it's already tooo late SEE before you leaped ..... oh my http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/draglink_adjustable.html
