Are you talking about the steering arm nut removal? If so you will need heat and the good nut removal tool not the cheap auto zone ones. Let me know if you need a picture.

You indicated…”. Center arm proved to be challenging.”
Can you elaborate on the difficulty you had and the solution you used to remove?
Sorry I was not more specific.

I know I used a standard center arm rebuild kit. I cannot remember a specific difficulty in rebuilding it. It was almost a year ago.

People remove just the front bib and pull the power train. Three speed is even easier that a four speed. Column shift transmission and dash shifted transfer case should even have to pull the tunnel cover. Just tie shift rods off to the side. Just be careful with the transfer case vacuum diagram. Has the two ports for vacuum pointed to the out side. Just take it easy and watch for anything hanging up. Being careful and go slow is the key to successfully getting it out.make sure everything is disconnected. Wire for the vacuum shift. Reverse light if it has one. Speedometer and hand brake cables. Everything else should be visible in the engine bay.

Ok thanks. No problems removing from the mount riveted to frame that you remember?
