NOT MINE - Wasn't someone looking for housing in Laramie? Might be cheaper than rent

Up for sale my 1991 International School Bus converted to an RV, it has an
International DT Turbo Engine. This is basically a great clean slate of a bus
with solid insulation, that can be customized and easily modified. The bus
is well insulated with blue foam board, and an extra layer of ceiling
insulation. I lived in it for 5 years in Laramie, even through the winters. It
has a wood stove for heat, and in the summer I install a cooler unit where
the stove pipe usually runs.

Don't bother with the 3-jaw unless you need it to get the UCA off the UBJ. There isn't enough lip availble to grab the edges.

A kit like this stands a much better chance of getting the UBJ outa the spindle. And no need to buy them. Vatozone will have a loaner you can use.

 

PB Blaster and put nut back on so edge of nut is flush with bolt face. Get your mini sledge out and beat it like that birch owes you money.

 

Ben just cut the balljoint off you aren't reusing it or the arm so why waste time separating it. Even if you still want to separate it after, it will be easier when it's not in the wheel well.

 

It's pressed into the spindle. He still has to get it out

 

He can still get the press over it afterward. But he'll be able to swing it toward himself. I've changed my uppers, it was the hardest thing I've done on the truck and required massive leverage. Right now he can't even get the BJ shank out of the arm let alone get to the hard part of pressing the joint out.

 

He's a weenie too

 

That's not what I meant lol, I just meant that you can't skip steps the way it's designed unless he cuts the shank off.

 

I still believe it is easier in the long run to pull the entire assembly, UCA and spindle, off the truck and work on it on the bench.

 

It is, that's what I did, it's near impossible to get enough leverage on the press with it in the wheel well. Although now that we've said this he'll be determined to do it with it on the truck still.

 

Are you saying Ben is stubborn?

 

Who would ever suggest something like that

 

This nice weather has me working on the yard, cleaning the garage and getting the ol' Harley started. Might go out for a short ride.

 

Hey guys. I was curious if anyone was able to round up a front drivers side mudflap? I posted a few weeks ago, but never heard anything back. Thanks in advance!

 

1st or 2nd gen?

 

Lol Ben working on his truck. Hilarious.

 

I'm hungry

That's the exact tool I used, worked just fine but you have to be crafty with the cup placement

 

Yeah I remember mine being weird too but it was so long ago I can't remember what I ended up doing to make it work

 

A big socket might work too.

It's entertaining.

 

Ah, yeah. Of course you did. Sure would like to see pics of that process.
