Default More on side yokes

Well I got the differential out and as I expected the yoke were worn badly. One was only a few thousanths away from the snap ring . The other was almost as bad. We had to cut the spring bolts. The shock mount studs are frozen big time. I need to take them out to get the strut rods out as they are bent and the bushing are shot. Any Ideas? :confused:

Larry,

Wish I was off work, I'd come up and help out, I could use a break from my project for a day. Why not give the shock mount removal thing from Van Steel a try. If I had one I'd bring it up but mine came out real easy so I never bought one. Are you going to just get new strut rods or try to straighten the old ones?
