anyways, im trying to get everything stripped before the por-15 gets here. today,
- i stripped alot more of the rear chassis. i concentrated on underside of it and hard-to-reach spots.
-I jacked up the rear of the frame and removed the wheels, and checked out the brakes
-I removed the parking brake cables
-I removed the shocks
-I removed the rearend
-I removed the leaf springs
-I dropped the exhaust system, in hopes to be able to pull it out in one piece
- I got some more weird stuff from my neighbor.
weird stuff from neighbor... what the heck is this "ignition tune up device"!





disconnecting brake line... well after soakign it for a halfhour i gave up with the brake line wrench and the pb blaster and decided for some vice grips. i got a small pare of vice grips and adjusted them to the point where i had to give it all i got to get them to lock on the brake line nut. then i wrenced on it with the vicegrips and it finally broke loose.
i had to use a pair of plyers to get the darn things off the nut



BEFORE...

AFTER...

first i jacked the rearend up and removed the wheels. I put stands under the frame near the cab and moved the jack under the rear pumpkin for later.
Brakes are poopy. im going to completely rebuild them in the rear, and install disks on the front.


then i removed the bolt/nut connecting the shocks to the rearend and got a rubber mallet to knock them out. came right out. for the top end, i grabbed a pickle fork that was laying next to me by chance, and it worked great on removing it from the top stud..


Then i removed unbolted the leafs from the rear end and i lowered the rearend.
Then i removed the Leafs.
to do this, i soaked every bolt in PB blaster when i first got the idea of removing the rearend so they would be soaked in by now.
Then, i grabbed my rachet and put all my weight into it, no movement whatsoever.
sOooooooo, i grabbed my trust braker bar , quite big isnt it?

bolts are 7/8" i used the ratchet/braker bar on one side like shown and had a wrench on the other side on the nut.


leafs now removed.




then i unbolted the exhaust system from the chassis and tried manuevering it out from under the truck in one piece. no luck. there isnt a way to get the front bend under the cab. ill have to wait. but, when i did this i guess i was leveraging it on the cab, because somehow it moved


i wondered if there was some bling bling under the gunky on the exhaust tip, so i got the grinder and found some Bling Bling


the end
