Hockey390 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I know this is the banshee forum and all but the blaster uses the same basic setup for suspension. So anyways I am taking the front A-arms off to be chromed on my friends blaster. I got the shock off and the top A-arm came right out, but the bottom ones wont... Is there something else I need to do to remove them? What I did was took the pin out of the bolt then unscrewed the bolt. I did the same with the top and they came right out, the bottom however isnt budging.. Everything is removed from the frame already I'm just down to the lower A-arm and the brake rotor. If there is nothing else to take out, and I got everything already.. Is it alright to give it a nice hard tap with a long wrench or hammer? Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 yea take the nut put it on the ends of the threads, and take a hammer and hit the nut, others say dont do that it may strip the bolt, so hit the spindle Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 what the brake rotor is connected to Quote
Hockey390 Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 Ok, I'm posting here and in a new topic in case no one looks at this older post. I cant get the freakin A-arm off... I tried the bolt hitting, probably ruined the bolt and nut, I gotta see if I can make fresh threads or not.. If not im screwed.. But I also tried hitting the spindle...VERY hard.... DIDNT BUDGE...There has to be something holding that bolt on there, I cant see how that just holds itself on with nothing helping it. Anyone ran into this problem before? What else can I do..? Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 i just though of something else, take a big ass pair of vice grips, place one end on the end of the spindle, the other on the end of the ball joint, and squeeze Quote
Hockey390 Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 I shall try that today... I dont know if i have a set that's big enough.. LOL I was told by a guy who works at a shop that its probably bent in there. I'm gonna shoot some WD-40 in there and tap it a little then try that method... Wish me luck. Next option is gonna be the good ol' hack saw.. =( Quote
