I have pulled dozens and dozens of disk brake setups using a pickle fork and a 4lb sledge with a 6" handle. About 6 or 8 good square whacks and you are in there. As long as you are hitting it square and are not Mr. MaGoo, you will have no problems.

I guess I have the touch then. From the time I start until there are a pair of spindles on the floor will be no more than30 minutes. (215 lbs. (pre-holiday weight)).

i stopped drinking soda and lots more water, no more mcdolanld's, taco bell, del taco, and all of us in CA. the good IN N OUT burger....except tonight i had double double [sm=icon_guiness.gif]it was all good , but i lost about 15 pounds.We all could probably lose some wieght. Then we can go faster in our stangs. and maybe, just maybe get to drive a lady home. That is of course is US single guys here

well i do got a 60 or 80 gal one. its about 5 feet or so tall. Quiet as hell compared to the 15 gallon. but all i got is a DA, air nailer, and of course the thingy to fill up tires whatever thats called.

Well im not to worried about messing up the tie rods....i got new ones anyway...I just dont wanna mess up the spindel.

I think as long as i take my time, and becare as f&$#. Then I should be ok. I was just expecting it to fall right off. And when that didn't happen...i was like grrrreaaatt. Then the sun set. And it quickly dropped 10 degrees to 41. Then it was time to stop. The sun rays were really nice. It was a nice day in so cal besides the problem at hand.

Allright thanks for all the ideas. Ill give ya an update tomorrow. If not, then NEXT year. DAMM its already 2007 [sm=imsmilin.gif] my car was soposse to be done in 2003. What happend to "lets party like its 1999" and the Y2k seems like it was just yesterday.
