Re: steering arm removal

THE SOCKET THING WORKED!!!!!!!!

I was beating on this steering arm for an hour with my sledge, I had heard they were a *****. I finally searched and found this posting. I started beating on my socket and was thinking this wasn't going to work but finally out of frustration, I just kept beating on the socket and ssshaaazzzzam ! the center cone came lose and then I worked it out with a screw driver. The front cone came out too, but the back one was very stubborn as I hit the cone a few times with the socket because there isn't much meat on the steering arm back there. SO I got the flat tip for my air chisel and hit the socket with it and that back cone came dancing out of there. YEEEE HAAAW

And the best part is that I don't have to mess with auto parts stores and replacement part numbers.
