I didnt have the air hammer available just an air chisle... Woul;d have been like hunting duck with a fly swatter. I used the backing the nut off against heavy stock method, along with heat, candel wax, penetrating oil, 3 lb sledge, cursing and spitting nails method... Really wasnt all that bad...

LMFAO... Oh can I say that here??? Gotta leave all the posts I can to get back to my "OFFICIAL MILITARY RANK".

Ho, HO, Ho... And if you find an extra ho...

Loved the ones I drove in the Army... M113 A2 and M113 A3. A3 was a great improvement.

How do I get one??? or two??? Would love to drive one to work. Hey boss, HOW BOUT THAT RAISE!!!

Wow... been at it myself for days. nothing yet. Ive been backing the nut out against a bar, using it for pressure, smacking the bejesus out of the ring, all while using CLP to get into the threads. Where should I hit it with a torch??? The ring??? The housing??? And wont that affect strength...
