PLEASE HELP

I trying to put an AAL on right now and the centering bolt on the leafs wont budge. Ive tried clamping it down and tightening it as tight as i could but it still wont budge. What should i do?

 

I cut mine off with an angle grinder..

 

how did you get it inbetween the nut and the leafs?

 

...?

I cut the top off, and the leaves come off over top. it's not bolted to the axle, it's just sitting in there, the u bolts are holding the leaves on.

 

you could also try to hold the bottom of the pin with a vise grip then turn the nut. thats how i took mine off.

 

Sounds like you need to just resort to a cutoff wheel (Harbor freight <$20). I'd a thought it'd just snap if it were rusted.

agreed^ Those things can be a bitch!

 

because you have to hold the bottom end of the center pin with a pair of vise grips otherwise it will just spin.

if thats not your problem you just need a bigger breaker bar

or me just using my southern ingenuity if it still wont budge, then put a ratchet strap around the breaker bar then find somewhere else to put it through and keep on tightening it. eventually it will bulge after so much tightening

 

Thanks guys. Ended up sawing the little devils off which was no easy task lol
