So I undid the little 9/16 both that holds in the pin for the lower control arm on the right side... couldn't get the pin out. So I did the same thing on the left side and the pin came out while spinning the hole bolt/pin using a 3/4 spanner.... Then went back to right side, no go.... heat , WD, I managed to turn it 1/16 of a turn... then tried to continue and snap the tab part broke off the pin. Now I have like 1/8 of an inch sticking out but use vise grips or anything else is just going to mangle it up but I am sure it won't come out......
So what to do I think I can get in with a hack saw and cut the whole thing into 3 pieces by moving the control arm from side to side leaving me with 1/8inch piece left showing that's in the axle casting.... but will I have enough meat to be able to turn it with something ???? anyone been down this road ? or do I weld something to the outside now like a NUT and keep try to turn it ??? thoughts please..... certainly not going to buy a new housing....
