Re: Bellows Steering Boot Replacement
I finally got this stupid thing replaced. Here is the removal procedure so other's may benefit in the future:
Looking at the bellows, like my picture shows, you take a 5/8 wrench and turn #1 down (which is left). While doing this, do not put a wrench on the #2. It will stay in place while you loosen the #1. #1 is a locking nut. Once #1 is released, put the 5/8 away. Then, find the best pair of channel lock's you can. Put the channel lock's on #2 and then the SAME DIRECTION as you did to loosen #1. Now, with that said, let's address the "superman" statement. The first pair of channel lock's I tried using (yes, name brand Channel Lock's), I broke trying to get #2 to break loose. So, I went out to the truck and got another pair (which had slightly less worn teeth) and tried again. This time I was successful. It literally took EVERYTHING I had to break it free. After removing it, I discovered that the entire 2" thread was saturated in red lock tite. Hope this helps someone else in the future. |
