Put some heat on it .I have the reverse problem I hit mine and it fell into pieces.Im assuming you are putting on a 3 gen trac bar.

What we do is take the nut and such loose and use an air hammer to impact the end of the ball joint and it usually pops loose. A little heat on the frame mount should loosen it as well. My guess is you werent able to get a solid hit on the end. Don't round it over too much or it will fight you out all the way.

had the same problem beat the piss out of the side of it like you would with a ball joint, use PB blaster, i used a fork and got it to pop but all else fails use a bigger hammer for more ass or resort to the blue wrench aka torch
|
i never even bothered with a hammer to much work i just used a heav dutuy 2 jaw gear puller and poped out evrytime
|
Yah. Jaw-puller works good, and air-hammer works good. heat never hurts!!! It can be a bear to get loose, but it'll eventually let go.
I had a couple of those lifetime warranty bars.... The warranty is great, but you still have to take it off. I finally gave in and bought a DT Trackbar. Money well spent. I've finally been able to forget about the trackbar. |
get yourself a pickle fork.
