Front suspension woes

As a rust breaker, I heartily endorse Kroil.

Using the BFH in tight places can be problematic. Sometimes there's not enough room or the application requires a more accurate strike than I can manage at the moment. If I can get a socket on it, I use a 4 foot-long "cheater" bar. I got mine in the plumbing section at Home Depot. Sometimes that is not enough, then I use a 6 foot-long piece donated by a chain link fence on an abandoned demolition site.

Use the cheater bar as a sleeve over the handle of the breaker bar socket drive. If used over a ratchet handle, the mechanism could be damaged or the head of the handle could break.

For steering joint removal, I use a small gear puller (3 inch jaw). I especially don't like the idea of swinging the BFH around the steering box.
