ironroad29,
Very nice, thank you, going to be needing that soon.
you admin types might want to add this to the tech sectionDon't look for any quick response from our site admin (I know you guys are busy) I sent my repair page to all the tech admin's asking for a proof read and feedback and have not heard from them, I didn't want to post it untill someone smarter than me looked it over, but members need all the info they can get?

Well I could have used this about 4-5 years ago!!! I have tried retightening just 2 of the bolts with locktite but they came loose again and again. I finally did it right and it is still secure. The first link describes exactly what I did except I used a 2" 10/32 screw and a pair of 8" vice grips to remove the pivot pins. Once the screw was in I attached the grips and tapped lightly with the hammer (a small one) The pins came out quite easily. I found that it was a fairly easy job with the initial disassembly being the most time consuming. I did all my repairs in the vehicle.
