Axle rotation - heim joint removal
« on: October 18, 2006, 08:02:50 AM »
I'm busy with rotating the rear axle on a vitara with the 3" calmini kit. But I'm stuck with the heim joint removing from the V-link. Whatever I try,the bitch will not come loose. Any help/hints?

I put never sieze on mine last year when I installed it and just changed it last week and it was still a bitch to get out! I clamped the a-arm in my vice then put a long bar through the eye and just barely broke it free.

Never had that problem with any other link bars! I think its cause the other end is open allowing moisture to sit against the other end of the rod end. so I packed it full of grease this time. We will see next year I guess.
