Popular Post Freightrain Posted December 27, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well as they say "having the right tool for job..."I bought the OTC slack puller and 10 seconds later the pitman was off in my hands. Ugh. Put it under tension and a couple taps with a hammer was all it took. The project continues on...... 5 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

j hancock Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Excellent!Now that you have the right tool in stock, you will never have a stuck slack adjuster. Guaranteed... 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Freightrain Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yup. As greased up as my slacks are they will never be stuck!Just a kick in the pants what I have spent on tools compared to the parts I want to change. A friend texted me yesterday to tell me he had slack puller at work if I needed it. Just after I bought one. Oh well. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Found out my steering arm has a smaller hole then air assist. I'm getting the arm sent and will put it on in hopes it will be no issues. Nothing I can't handle.Just now working on trying to get my arm off. Nut came off easily but now trying to get arm to pop out. No room for puller. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
