Any down and dirty tricks for removing the Nylon knuckle joint cup from <br>
the rear radius arm when the hole into which it fits has rusted <br>
internally? I changed out the entire right-hand side rear suspension on <br>
my '81 last weekend and it took me almost three hours just to get that <br>
stupid cup out of the arm -- plus another hour or so to remove the <br>
rubber cone spring which had seized itself to the Adjust-a-Ride <br>
trumpet. There's got to be a quicker way to do it.<br>
<br>
Before I attack the left-hand side, after I drain and remove the fuel <br>
tank, I'd like to see of there's an easier way to remove that Nylon cup <br>
from the radius arm. I'm thinking maybe I could hit it with a heat gun, <br>
on a low or mid setting to keep from melting it, in order to make it <br>
more pliable. Then I might be able to wedge a small screwdriver between <br>
the cup and the arm hole in several places. That would give me enough <br>
room to spray some penetrant into those areas to, hopefully, dissolve <br>
some of the rust before I start trying to pull and pry it out.<br>
<br>
Your thoughts?!?<br>
