Tried knocking it off with a hammer, that didn't work for me.
It just beat up the cap. Ended up using a long brass drift and hammer, that gave me a little angle on it. So there isn't a tool for this? Muffler clamp idea sounds good though. |

Muffler clamp idea sounds good though. You have to hit it with an outward glancing blow, different spot every time. You can fix the cap easy with a couple big sockets and a vice, plus a body hammer or a blunt drift and a hammer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I like the muffler clamp idea, but don't really like the prying bit. Next time I'll try it with a big slide hammer I have. There is an 'outie' version of the cap that's on a set of 3" struts I have here, don't know if they have them for 3.5", but I do like them better than the inset caps. |
