Re: Knee-Action Shocks- Work Best with Fluid!

Moved the jack around to the side, but couldn't fit a stand under there, too, but it's ok because the frame jack stand is in place.

Used some baling wire to hold the hub up.

Pulled the cotter pin, and removed the nut (15/16") and washer.

The bolt itself is another issue. There's a fair amount of rust, so this is an opportunity to clean it up. Ten years ago I had taken it a suspension place and gave them a box of rubber parts to replace worn out parts. They gave me several items back. Lo and behold, the insulators for the upper support arms were in there, so now this method is paying off....

IF I can get the bolt out. I tried unscrewing it from the head, just in case there were more threads. It turns but does not move out. I got a block of wood and a hammer. Using wood means you won't damage anything. But it still doesn't move.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'll squirt some blaster in there since I'm replacing the insulators, which look pretty squished.
