I've tried WD-40 type lubricants, synthetic grease, dish soap, dish soap with a rope pulling up through the mount. Similar to installing windshields with a rubber. No success. Looking for Idea's. Thanks
Silicone spray and a large screw driver. Never had an issue. Sit one side of the mount in and rotate the other side in with the persuasion of a large screw driver.
I've been trying, without much success, not to scratch anything. so I didn't try the screwdriver. I'll give that a try today. Thanks
I ended up using a floor jack to continually apply pressure while I poked with a large flat blade screwdriver. They are tough little buggers.
I'm assuming you didn't have to contend with the drive shaft to use the floor jack method? The screwdriver method didn't work, just frustrated me, I had to walk away. I just picked up the computer to look for another style snubber.
Correct, drive shaft was out. Clarification on the jack use, my memory had a gap in my original post. I put a jack in place a foot or so away from the snubber and used it as the fulcrum for a pc. of 2x4 which applied the pressure on the snubber. one hand on the 2x4, one hand with flat blade
I have installed a lot of them so I made a tool a piece of angle iron welded to a flat piece I use my transmission jack boom they pop right in
Task Completed!!! I used my Bridge Jack and put together a contraption that worked amazing. I took 2 pictures of the contraption. Thanks for the replies and help, always appreciated.
Well done!
Nice job... I like the single crimp brake hose too ;)
