SUCCESS, I got the Left T/L unloaded, what a chore. To recap, I unloaded it from the front. I ran a hook and rod through the shock tower and lifted the load arm. I then removed the upper and lower suspension arms, and then backed off the threaded rod.

That being said, even after unloading, the rear was still froze. I finally got it to knock loose and can now move the rear arm up and down although yet with good amount of force.

I almost never got the compensator link knocked out from the rust, right now, I can not budge the main T/L from the rear load arm.

I am taking tomorrow off to grill and eat, I am letting the area soak with some oil for a day. When I get it out, I will post the picks of a rusted T/L
