[DML] Re: partial TAB success

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you talking about the TAB or one of the small bolts that hold the 
bushing in place? If you've snapped one of those things it gets a lot 
more interesting. Since there's no room to get a drill and tap in 
there.....

If you mean the other end of the TAB, it will come out with the 
bushing. The end we had trouble with here was the bold being frozen 
into the trailing arm. They ended up replacing the arm.

Let me know.
