I have taken the nut and lock washer off and tried heat pry bar PB Blaster and a BFH. Nothing is moving except for some threads that I have buggered up. Any help would be great.
Also on the same truck the drivers front leaf spring has the numbers 22-164? on it in yellow paint. I am wondering is this the origanal part number or what? How much should I worry about putting that back on for a 100% correct truck?

I've never seen any paint marks on the springs, but would hesitate to suggest that means anything...

It's true.

As far as removing the Pitman arm, you ned to use a puller. Using an impact wrench on the puller will give you a better chance of success. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 52 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 52 | Yellow paint could mean a wrecking yard mark, but I don't know how they were marked from the factory. I've never seen any paint marks on the springs, but would hesitate to suggest that means anything... I have seen that but this looks professional. Most if not all of the salvage yards I have seen just scribble it on. This looks like it was layed out with templates or something. I also do not see any reason that the spring has been replaced. IE.. the same pitina on the other spring just no number. I also found the number 16 in, white crayon, on the drives side under the hood hinge, you could not see it untill I took the hinge off. Was wondering what that means as well? Kenny Broomfield | | |
