Hey all,

looks like you guys had a good time this weekend. wish i could have been there. maybe we can view some pics at next meeting.

I finally i got my pitman arm off and my new steering box on (THANKS JOHN!!!). it was a *&$#^# to get the pitman arm off. i banged that damn thing so hard, had the puller on it for two weeks, kroiled, even heated it up with a propane torch and added wax.... finally came off today after i tightened down the puller one last time before i was going to give up. i think next time i am going to try vodoo.

the new box is MUCH tighter. Now i won't be pulled over when sober...

Next weekend i will be tighting up the brakes and i need to lift up the exhaust...I also need some shims to modify the castor.

:beer:
 
So, after the brakes, exhaust, and shims, will it be ready to wheel?
 
after brakes and exhaust... yes. shims can wait.
 
it drove tight today.... YES. i love it. no more wandering... feels like a little MG on steroids
 
Wish I'da known you were having problems pulling the pitman arm, Sebastien. I have the SST for that. Mine came right off.
 
i should have called you :)
