    Trouble separating steering arm from wheel knuckle

    Finally got it off after some energetic hammering. When I got it out, one of the conical washer was still seized up in there. Thanks all. Definitely am thinking of getting a air hammer

    Trouble separating steering arm from wheel knuckle

    So, for the life of me, this steering arm which is attached by 4 bolts on top of the knuckle on the picture will not pop out. Wondering if I forgot something.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I use the acid you get from Lowes that polishes new floor tiles for home or garden. It is not by the cleaning supplies section but the tile section or floor resin section.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My sludge tank is pretty bad like that too. I already did a thorough flush, enough that rust in the coolant drain sump no longer appears, but I think I have to do a reinspect. I want to replace the tank itself but it is bolted to the exhaust manifold bolts and do not want to mess with that. I...

However, upong getting home, I see between the tranny pan and the oil pan some kind of gear housing with a plug removed and it looks dry in there (except for the part I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    So I went to the beach the other day with friends and with my M923 and got stuck. Shamefully a Tundra with mud tires got me out. I guess as a newbie I did not realize the front wheel drives do not engage when still rolling in gear even at 10 mph. Then again, when in neutral, I hear the pressure...
