Truck:
Replaced the Centre Tie Rod, the ball joint on the steering gear drop arm was well loose (I had something like 15 degrees free movement on the steering wheel, the truck almost tacked when going down the road). On the other hand the ball joint on the lazy drop arm appears to be siezed solid.
Pretty near mullered a 'light truck' strength ball joint splitter getting one of the outer tie rod ball joints off the centre tie rod, had to get the impact gun on it for a few mins before it split, the joint splitter bent in the process.
Fabricating the winch bumper while the trucks in bits too.'
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered

)
