If you have no air chisel an angle grinder will do.

Im trying to get the cone compression tool down the top to screw in and it doesnt seem to want to grab on anything. All i can see in is these 2 photos but i have no idea how it should look? Could someone please give me a idea if this is right? |

Sometimes the hole/thread can get really ugly, so much that it can be so full of rust and sh*t that a thread tap is required. this presents problem number 2, get a tap down there. You'll need to braze one onto a bit of rod with T on top. Might sound a bit rough, but usually when they're this bad the cone is stuffed too, I get stuck into cone/trumpet with an air chisle then bin the whole lot. Are you fitting hi lo's or something? |

I did mine recently and only needed the compressor when fitting in new cones. Remove that square rubber stop for some space as top arm has to come out - check condition of pin and bearings. Lever pin from front. Change the knuckle joint too if needed. Other than cone compressor, you may need a ball joint splitter. |

Other than cone compressor, you may need a ball joint splitter. If you want to replace the top bearings, they are a bugger to remove. But I have a new puller that works, bring em over. If the top shafts are not worn, keep them. Their material & hardness is way better than the aftermarket ones being sold now. |

Both pins/shafts and bearings were good doc. Just to clarify stib, top arms gotta come out for new stuff to go in. |
