Subject:removing the rear axle upright assembly.
Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 11:53:47 -0500

Yo.


I tried last night to remove my left axle upright (since the
bearings and axle are toasted), but ran into the usual
how-do-I-get-these-bolts-out problem.  As it is right now,
I've got everything off except the 4 bolts that attach the
axle to the half-shaft, but for the life of me I can't get those
buggers off.  I haven't tried torching the nuts yet... I wanted
to make sure there wasn't a simple trick first before doing that.

(After trying to get one of them off my wrench slipped off the 
bolt head and I clobbered myself in the forehead.  Ow!  I'm
waiting for the bruise to show up above my right eyebrow.  That's
pretty much the point at which I stopped trying.)  :(

Any tips?

TIA,

Jim
