What tool is required? Will a late model puller work or is it something special? Pulling column prior to cab comimg off frame.
While Im at it what about rusted brake & clutch pedals.....
Thanks

I have started to blast all My small parts using a blast cab from Grainger than I paint them with Rust Stop primer from Ace and than paint with Rust Stop top coat the color I need ,it takes alot of time but now I go in the garage and see fewer and fewer parts all rusty and boxes of painted parts ready to install when the time comes {no time soon} Have fun, Pete | | |
