Getting frozen collars out of suspension brackets
Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 3:03 pm
Now that the seasons over 
me and my buddy were starting to work on his sled and found the collars were frozen in the suspension brackets.....told him they need grease but u think he would listen????? So after a few barley pops and different combinations of cuss words we had the bright idea of using a u-joint tool 2 see if that would get them loose. We sprayed em with pb blaster let them sit and then put our plan into action. Darned if it didnt work,,,,,if anyone decides to use this idea one word of caution tho.....dont be standing on the outbound side of the tool.....most popped loose with no problem but one shot out like a missle. Hope this mite help some1 in the future have a safe summer.
