I know it needs to be pressed out of the arm.Problem is I can't get it off the spindle. Do I need a bigger pickle fork, that what I used on everything else. Thanks Brett | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 | The way i did it on my 64 was to put a large (1 1/4) open end wrench in between the space where the pickle fork goes. Then put the fork in and try again. This gives the fork the added leverage that it needs. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 | Thank you Rusty64. I removed the arm to the rod end, as this was keeping the pickle fork from laying flat. I have new spindles and disc's. Pitman arm is giving me trouble now, soaking it over night in Kroil lube. See what happens tomorrow. You idea would have worked as the pickle fork was going up under the arm.Thanks again Brett. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | Heat is the cure for everything stuck. | | |
