No rivets in the way, right?
Wondering if pulling the control arm is next, assuming heat doesn’t help.

Hit it on the side with a BFH. Brace the control arm as best you can so the all the force of the hammer strike goes to the knuckle

Well, one side is done. Hopefully it was the hard side.
Both sides done. New ball joints, wheel bearings, axles, and manual hubs.
Buddy of mine let me borrow a short pickle fork and what he called "The Persuader." An 8lb sledge with the handle cut down. Hit like a truck and popped them in a few hits.

When doing a valve adjustment and using a ratchet to turn the crank, it is very important to remove the ratchet before starting the car.
New radiator and fan blade on the way.

This is the stuff of my nightmares.
This and rebuilding an engine and then leaving a bolt in the intake or forgetting a valve keeper
Don't know how many valve adjustments I've done in my my life, across a myriad of cars. This was my fourth (fifth?) on this Trooper.
Hell, I'm an aircraft mechanic!
That's what I get for not counting my tools...
Back in business!
Like it never happened. I think the CSF radiator is a nicer unit than the Liland. Brass vs aluminum, dual core vs single, and it has a higher fin density.

You can't just go around saying stuff like that in front of Boeing mechanics
Not a bus mechanic, sorry
