welded a washer to the broken bolt then welded a nut to the washer. A little bit of heat and it came right out.

I snapped the pivot bolt for the trailing arm pivot. It broke flush with the threads inside the frame horns. Anyone else have this problem before. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk |

Good work! I like crafty people. Crafty people come up with genius fixes to get me out of a hole and out of the woods. I depend on these folks after my 12th. That's why I pack a 30 pack. I'm on 11 now. I am trying to figure 5 big terrorists for 1 deserter. chipop, gulp gulp gulp. 12. |

I'd make sure your trailing arm isn't bent or in a bind. |

Had that happen once. Cut the old mount out and get one of the ones people use to convert swingaxle to irs and weld it in. |

I got it lined up right but I put anti-sieze on it. Every thing I work on either gets locktight or anti-sieze
