How's this gonna go?

[Paul R]

Yeah, I'm gonna bash the wee out of it with a sledge, after I heat it up. I don't feel like sending myself flying across the garage... again.

I think this says it all...

 

[Tacoma]

Impact is currently unavailable.... so it's old-skool brute force LOL

I was recently bequeathed a sweet compressor though. That's gonna make life easier by far.

 

[Brett]

You're gonna get hurt

 

[RockMonkey]

I think you're going to burn yourself.

 

[BCGPER]

All ya gotta do is ask....

I had one like that. I took and O/A torch and heated the inner C cherry red... I mean cherry red... I then put some 7/8 hex stock in the kingpin and put a 1/2" 7/8 socket on it with a 3 foot cheater, I threw my back into it and about fell on my arse...it was so lose. I didn't need the cheater or much force to knock it loose, it was super easy FWIW

 

[JoeT]

video the adventure. i want to see you get hurt when it breaks.

X2

 

[RockMonkey]

So are you in the burn unit yet?

 

[Tacoma]

Tomorrow I'm pulling it off the table to take some video of the deed. Setting up a tripod and everything.

 

[spaggyroe]

The video will be sweet!

The optimistic side of me wants you to breeze through the puppy so that you can be the proud owner of sweet, sweet American iron....

The realistic side of me thinks that you're going to have at least minor injuries..

Take precautions... safety glases, gloves, wear a cup, etc....

 

[Hickey]

I might be able to help you if you wait till friday. I have a big hammer.

 

[Tacoma]

Friday I'll be doing the other side. Come on over! I'll be home at like, 1pm.

Cutting off all the !@##$ bolts on the driver's side with my new pawn-shop grinder. Love it!

 

[Meat_]

Are you dead yet?

 

[Tacoma]

VICTORY IS MIIIINNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



at least for one side. So easy I didn't even get pics. Hickey is probably gonna swing by tomorrow, so I should have extra hands to run the camera for the driver's side LOL

Two smallish whacks with a hand sledge, then I stood on the knuckle with one foot and gave the wrench two good stomps. Since I am massive, and utterly HUUUUGE as some of you have seen in person (don't be afraid, I am benevolent and gentle), that's all it took.

This axles is openly mocking me at this point. For that, I will punish it..

 

[Tacoma]

oops, forgot:

Killed another grinder. Maybe I should buy one at a real store.

 

[Jeremy]

no blood???? dont worry the other side will kick your ass.

 

[RockMonkey]

Is anyone else a little disappointed?

 

[Tacoma]

I threw a fit when it came out so nice and easy. After all the ridiculous BS I'm going through to get those bolts out, and POOF, no problem with the kingpin. I swore a blue streak.

The other side is getting sawzalled, and I've ordered a nice stud kit from Highhonda. Nuff this old corroded shite, yo.

 

[RockMonkey]

Nuff this old corroded shite, yo.

Werd

Is anyone else a little disappointed?

I am very disappointed. I was looking forward to Tacoma getting his butt handed to him.
