Another Question.

Like I said, the balljoint that connects that thing with the steering rod is much easier to get loose.. concentrate on that one! The R 8 thing your trying to get loose can move around and is hard to get off (and pointless too). If you take 2 big hammers, undo the nut on the steering balljoint, let it sit flush with the top of the thread it's on so you distribute force more evenly. Then put something semi-soft on top of it so you dont ruin the nut/threads when you beat on them.

Now take one hammer and put it underneath the "eye" that the balljoint sits in. This is for support. Then take the other hammer and give some sharp blows on top of the balljoint thread on the top. It will usually come loose after a good beating. As I already said, use either a gummi hammer for the top or pu a bit of strong wood or something on top of the thread so it doest get damaged. BTW, when you have the arm out, you could think about getting the bottom of the arm "boxed- in" by welding plates in it. This adds a bit of strength to it..
