Any tips for first time removal of the front suspension? The plan is to remove the suspension, clean it up and sand blast, and powdercoat.
Situation: I'm doing this in a parking lot. Air tools are remotely possible, but not feasable. I'd like to find a way to remove it in sections, if possible. I'll be working alone. Thanks, Rusty P.S. Hope everyone had a good Father's Day. My son (6 y/o) learned how to ride his bike without training wheels! |

I had a thread about a month ago on tie rod end removal tools. After due consideration I used the smack the control-arm with a hammer method which failed. Pick-fork came out and destroyed both tie rod end boots in the process.
One thing I did learn was to use some anti-sieze on the taper of the tie-rod ends when I reassembled them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good luck, Kevin |
