Yeah OK help….for the life of me I cannot get the clamshell assembly to come apart. I’ve taken off the acorn nuts and the two long screws and it will still not separate. Not even a fraction. This casting looks very fragile and I don’t want to force it.
Is there a trick to it? I do not have a donor, and I’m trying to see which part is that his failed. I don’t think it has a bushing in it at all. It appears that somebody has stuck a slice of rubber hose in it at one time but I can’t be sure until I get it apart.
Should I just soak it in PB blaster? Give it a go tomorrow, or is there something I’m missing higher up in this pivot system?
Thanks in advance
