Trailing Arms

[willy]

I have just received a Dump Truck 5 ton
That has one off the trailing arm loos after taken off the nut off can I with a brass drift just hit out off the socket
I do have a wrecker very much canibalized by goverment but it has 4 trailer arms I can remove one
Or do I need some other tool for this

The oxy/acetylene torch with rosebud and 5 pound hammer are about the only special tools you should need.

I have oxy/acetylene what is a rosebud.???
And where do I put it on the arm to make it bigger.???
Do I take the arm out off the vehicle by removing the nut.???
I am sorry for the questions but need to ask.

you need to read the -20 and the -34, you would be surprised the info. these contain. a good chance you do not need the tourch, not that hard to change, a BFH will be your friend, remove the bracket from the axle, use anti-seize when doing the install.
