Yummy



Finally have my pitman arm reamed to the correct diameter for the 1 ton tie rod, my poor little drill press was not really up to it



About ready to cut off the 1/2 ton lower tie rod mounts to make easier access for my removal tool

I also started working on my brakes, I thought they needed to be bled but it looks like the hydro set up is particular about how far in or out the pushrod is… more on that later when i figure it out

Maybe toss in a pair of sunglasses so he won’t be blinded by the light. I mean the gloss on it. I’ll bet the stubborn part might be relative. As in being related to the 3 Stooges. “ Stubborn ehh ! “
