[DeTomaso] lower pantera shafts

[michael frazier]

As I see it you can make a cut like that but you would have to be very careful not to hit the upright or the control arm.
You would be cutting through about 3" of metal when you do.  My first move would be to soak it with a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF then try the press again with steady pressure while whacking the upright...then heat...finally violence.  Cutting like you
describe would be the violence I referred to.

> Mike,Listers, I'm in trouble. I had a grinding noise and noticed my RR inboard bearing was missing a few balls. Lucky for me I have a set of rebuilt uprights and new lower shafts, seals O rings, the works, including ball joints. I got the right side off and the upper arm built. I bent my press trying to push the lower shaft out. It is stuck in the inner sleeve. Can I cut between the lower arm and the upright with a sawzall? I just need my lower arm back but I don't want to harm a good upright either. The exiting lower shaft means nothing to me now. Any suggestions. Bill 1362
