[DML] Re: partial TAB success

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are having that much trouble with the left side bolt it is
probably bent and/or corroded into the sleeve inside the rubber
bushing. If you do manage to "turn" the bolt you may really be ripping
the sleeve loose inside the rubber. Your remedy may be to cut the bolt
up into pieces and remove the rubber bushing. You may be able to press
out the remaining piece from the sleeve. You might have to replace the
bushing, inspect it carefully after you get done beating on it. A
Sawzall works OK just try to stay away from the rubber. If you don't
have a Sawzall (reciprocating saw) you can do it with a hacksaw. It
just takes a lot longer. In may cases I was able to remove parts
easily with a pneumatic hammer that I just could not beat off with a
hammer no matter how hard I tried. Again, before you go wild, count
and measure the thickness of the shims. Even if you do count and
measure the shims it is a good idea to get a 4 wheel alignment anyway
when you are done. I recomend an alignment every 20 years or so (Ha Ha).
