and all it took was:
2 trips to home depot $9 in a makeshift pressing tool 1 heat gun 1 hammer 4 hours of cursing First, after reading through all of the posts, I tried the boiling technique. I boiled it for 5 minutes, and at best, I would say it softened it up very very little. I tried a heat gun, and got the same results. I finally went to home depot and tried to figure out some sort of tool to help. I got a piece of all thread, 2 washers and 2 nuts in hopes of pressing it into place. AFter 6 tries, I got it to stay in, used the heat gun to "soften" it as much as possible and hammered it in. It FINALLY popped into place, and I called it a day even though it was the only thing I got done! after it cools down, i'll check to make sure the linkage bar goes in (dont know what I'll do if it doesnt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ) If I never have to put another one of these damn things in, it will be too soon!!! ok, rant done |

Whew! I've got this to look forward to this week.
Couldn't make to to Sac this weekend for your work party BBQ, had to work Sat and again today. On Sunday, I dropped the transmission and am now ready to remove the linkage on my way to the sideshift conversion. My "new" avatar has the photo. I'm gonna see how much progress I can make w/o dropping the engine, but the PP article says you gotta do that to get the forward linkage in. We'll see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
