Default Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Giving up for the night.

OK, so I got the bolt loose in the upper link but now I cant get the freakin nubs to pop up and out. Its really nerve recking. Ive been spraying w/ Kroil and WD40 for the past hour and wacking the hell out of it, still no budging. I cant do it any longer. GRRRRRR!

Is there a cartain way the wheel should be turned? Ive tried straight, left and right all the way. I even had my girl in the car shaking the wheel back and forth while I was punding on it and still NOTHING!!!!!!!

Im almost tempted to put it all back together and take it to someone to have it done. Its a real PITA!

Default Yeap, I took it out..

I was tapping soft, hard and REALLY hard and they still dont seem to want to come out. The foremonst one lifted about 3/16 of an inch but thats all. It didnt seem to want to go any further. Ill go back at it tomorrow when I get home from work.
