Trailing arm dissasembly
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything helpful by searching. How do you get the spindle support off the trailing arm? It's already off the car and the 4 nuts are off, but I can't get it to budge. I've tried prybars and trying to drive a chisel between the 2 with no luck. I don't have a press, but I'm leaning towards picking one up from harbor frieght because it seems like every part on this car is pressed together.

Do an advanced search using "Trailing Arm" and specify C3 Tech/Perf and you'll get plenty of threads. I did this to read up before I started mine this weekend. You'll need a press for this job if you do it yourself.

I've been reading through a ton of gary's threads too, you really can't ask for better info.
I was actually looking at the 12 ton press, thought that would be more than enough. Anyone know for sure if that's not enough for what I'm doing?
