Re: K Frame Removal

[John Hammond <426_maxwedge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While on this topic thought I'd throw this extra tidbit into the info 
pile...  Prior to attack of the four K-frame mounting bolts I always
drill a 1/8" diameter hole in the outer, vertical side of the frame 
perpendicular with where the bolt threads in from underneath. (this is
the area you are facing with the wheel removed.  Using a stream-tube on a 
can of PB-Blaster or some other penetrating oil, curve the tube slightly 
downward and insert it into the hole in the frame to where it's aimed at the 
threads of the retaining bolts internal of the frame sections. This done a 
day or two prior to removal can go a long way in the removal of the 4 
critical fasteners. If one snaps or rounds off ..... it ain't pretty.

We don't mind that you ask. :)

Here is a home-made tool from the "tech-tips" page:

Mopar Torsion Bar removal: "Take 2 2x4’s about 8" long, at about 2.5" cut a 
notch. The notch will go around the Torsion Bar. Drill 2 holes 1" away from 
the notch on either side. Take 4 nuts and bolts and sandwich around the 
Torsion Bar. Smack the wood with a small sledge hammer to remove the Torsion 
Bar." -- Dustin C.

Thanks,
Gary H.
