What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yup. I did.

I gave up. I rounded out the bottom of the shaft and it's not moving anymore. Going to drop by my father's work tomorrow - think he has a hydraulic press I can use. Or at least a vice...

 

You rounded the puller, you weren't using a socket?

 

Nope. Couldn't fit a socket because it hits the lower ball joint mounts. Been using a crescent wrench on a piece of conduit.

I couldn't invert it and use a socket either because I can't adapt it to fit.

 

Well you can grind new flat spots haha, now you know why they call it the swedish nut lathe.

 

Where were those pics taken?

 

Pine AZ about 15 min North of Payson

 

I got one as well and i tried it out today, it broke the lugnuts loose on a suburban lol it’s a bad little impact

 

I'm just saying!
This is what I did and split the cost with a buddy of mine on my first set. And I bought the same c clamp style your using just so could have the dies for the press.
Since then I've built an 80 ton hydraulic press so things got easier.

 

I'm very tempted but I don't have room in my garage, haha

 

Use it and take it back. I've done that too. Kinda an ass move but works so good

 

Yes I've done that too. Only because I live in an apartment. All the big toys are now in a garage I rent with a friend. Almost got the cash for a lift. And can't wait!!!

 

You uh, responded to yourself

 

LOL! I just noticed that.

 

Having a good Christmas Eve isn’t he.

 

Uhhhhhh

 

I was going for a Jeff Goldblum pause haha

 

Happy Holidays TacomaWorld

 

Merry Christmas to me.. it's a 4x8 table and its in the works but I'll know for sure after the new year.

 

Santa brought me a torque wrench, no more renting them from Auto Zone.

Hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas as well!

 

Merry Christmas! We took an early trip this year (without the truck) and just returned, with what I'll posit is the most Tacoma-heavy trip report on TW. Holy Smokes, can I say that?

Curious? Read about the Tacoma Zone - 957 Tacoma's




(and there are many, many more where that came from - go read about it, you won't be sorry!)
