i think its gunna turn out nice, have to figure out how to get the damn knuckle off its on there good

Ahem... may I direct your eyes to my sig...






BFH FTW!
Seriously though, put a 4x4 block of wood under the beam and give 'er a couple good slugs with a big hammer. I think in total it took me 4 hits a side or something.

I used a 12lb sledge and hit the top of the ball joint stud. Worked like a charm.

Hey man, us wiry guys are the ones ya gotta worry about. All unsuspect and whatnot.

 

[86 slo-vo]

lol yup...

got some work on the driver beam done...

still not sure if i like the truss yet so i havent filled it in, should i raise the truss up off the front of the housing for more rigidity or do yall think it will be fine down on it?

It looks to me like the pivot side should come down a little bit but then I see it wouldn't quite match up to the center of the ring gear. In other words: I got nothin'
