2002 FX4 Ranger 10-24-2002, 04:12 PM OK guys, as we speak I am trying to get the coil springs out of my 84 ranger. The bottom retaining nut will NOT come loose. I tried heating it, WD-40ing it, PB blastering it, and man handleing it. Anyone have any other brilliant idea. I NEED HELP!!! gunracer1 10-24-2002, 04:23 PM a cutting torch works real quick 2002 FX4 Ranger 10-24-2002, 04:25 PM Dont have one. Closest thing I have is a propane torch. The bolt goes through the axle housing. Its a D28 TTB front end. Malltero 10-24-2002, 04:28 PM Originally posted by 2002 FX4 Ranger Dont have one. Closest thing I have is a propane torch.

If your using an open end closed end combo wrench.... use another opened end to hook into the wrench and act as a breaker bar for more leverage..... If your using a socket and a breaker bar... use a cheater pipe. Get the biggest mother fawking pipe you can fit over the breaker bar or ratched and put your back into it. Or you can use a 2lb sledge to impact what ever you are using to take the nut off. Removing a nut :shaking: Stupid newbie. :flipoff2: 2002 FX4 Ranger 10-24-2002, 06:02 PM A --- You cannot get a socket/ratchet in there B --- I dont have a 1 1/8" closed end wrench C --- I am using an adjustable with a cheater pipe over it. Problem is the wrench keeps slipping off. D --- I tried using a 14lb sledge to impact the break. Stupid old timer:rolleyes: LOL J/K BrettM 10-24-2002, 06:13 PM get the right tools (1 1/8 wrench) yager 10-24-2002, 07:47 PM Originally posted by BrettM get the right tools (1 1/8 wrench) Get the right tools.......

Stop being such a cheap fawk and buy the right tools. You can afford the truck... so if you know your the anwser to your own question, save our fawking time, and go buy a wrench :flipoff2: If you know the wrench is slipping... *ding ding*... then what did you THINK the problem was. :confused: Motornoggin 10-25-2002, 10:03 PM [QUOTE]Originally posted by 2002 FX4 Ranger C --- I am using an adjustable nut rounder with a cheater pipe over it.

Believe it or not, I have a huge adjustable that really works as a wrench, honest. Although the more times it sees a big cheater bar, the closer it comes to being the adjustable nut rounder we all know and have come to hate... 2002 FX4 Ranger 10-26-2002, 02:28 PM Well, it is done. I posted the question at 10pm on thursday night. I dont believe there are any stores open that late that sell decent tools. I went up and bought the wrench at Sear's friday and it is done. Truck is lifted. | |
