It didn't take much to pressure you.

Just wait till Red finds out what you might be doing to the GP....

Probably adding more stickers or plastic dipping more things..

We know what you mean, Fivefinger felt the need to clarify lol

Ehh lol you could possible be shocked

Replaced the pitman arm on the neighbors blazer. Pita, you have to remove the gearbox and replace the arm on the bench. Luckily I used his garage and brought my own torpedo heater and got it to a comfortable 60 degrees. Doing the other tie rod tomorrow.

they do make a puller that will fit with the gear box still bolted on. its called a pitman arm puller lol

Dad dropped off a 01 voyager at my house yesterday that he picked up with 127K miles on it for $400. Thought the brakes were bad but turns out they were only slightly sticking. Cleaned and greased them and it's all good to go now. Gave it a once over and tried to spin tires and the 2.4L wouldn't even chirp them.

I used a pitman arm puller lol. Problem is the gearbox is right above the frame, and it has to be removed.

See how the nut is right dead center above the frame? The frame isn't going anywhere lol

i was able to get the puller on both my 97 and 03. its tight but it fit.

No way were you doing it still bolted in. Maybe you took the mounting bolts off the gearbox, and pushed it up enough to get at it, but at that point why struggle with the frame that's still making it tight. 2 more steps and its out.

A blazer frame is nothing like a 1500/2500 frame, thats why he was able to remove his on the vehicle.

Oh yeah no kidding. I've done a few pitman arms, this was the first time the first step wasn't to remove the pitman arm nut.

nothing looks easy to fix on them newer little blazers. plugs looked easy to change through the fender well.

Re installed the interior today, majority of the floor was covered with undercoat then covered in reflectix

Did a tranny service, replaced broken wheel stud and new rubber donuts behind the cat.

Luckily I did this at my buddy's shop. I got the wheel stud designed for non-hub removal. Still had to loosen the hub. Put the tire on and the stud is so short I can barely catch a thread. Ordered the normal length stud and re-did the job after a long lunch break.

Put some Lucas additive in the tranny too. That chit is thick and sticky! LOL
