Default 1st TA off tonight

Thanks all, couldn’t have done it in the hour and half or so without all the knowledge. I don’t know how you could cut it out with one person, you need at least 4 eyes and 3 hands.

I didn't count the time cutting off the nut and trying to punch it out, or the beer breaks.

I tried to tell my buddy that I talked to 300 people about removing the TA's and they all told me when they are rusted in like mine were the only way to get them out was the sawzall

I had to burn mine out with a torch. Make sure you replace the bolt & shims with S/S.
