[DML] Re: partial TAB success

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ball joint press or a big C clamp. Use a 7/16" bolt as the drift and a
3/4" socket as the receiver, deep well if necessary.

I had to press out one of mine. Didn't cut it -- just squeezed the
bolt through until it was flush with the trailing arm, then used a
drift until capacity of the C clamp was reached. Pulled it the rest of
the way through by levering the head with a pair of pliers against a
block of wood against the frame.
