Re: Front 10 Bolt Teardown / Rebuild PICTURES!

REMOVING THE STEERING ARM (CONTINUED) Depending on how rusted your cone washers are is what determines how hard this part is going to be. Thankfully on the surplus axle there was no rust and the steering arm came off without a problem. But on my original front axle it was a pain in the @$$!! If you are in the same boat as i was, heres what to do. With some persuasion it should come off without a problem. Start by tapping it with a mallet and switching between these three places. Get some good wacks in there its not gonna hurt anything. After a couple rounds of wack a mole the cone washers should give and pop goes the weisel.
