    I’d recommend a hand torch too so you can heat up the adapter, then tap the uniball in.

    Weird situation, also I hate those adapters haha

    Good luck!

    What size sockets are needed for the lower uniball Bolt? I am assuming they are different sizes from my All-Pro kit

    yep. imagine this happening waaay back in the distant past before internets and cellphones...ugh.

    always pack the extra parts, tools and cash before my kiester hits that seat...pays to lug all yer worldly possessions around Clampet-style. Ya never know when you'll need that stupid one thing you don't have.
