Kevin,

If this is a quibble with my comment I didn't mean to start controversy. But in my 35 plus years of amateur wrench turning (yes, I'm a fossil), I've had a few that have been stuck. The cone shaped spindle gets rust welded into the socket and tough to get out. As I indicated, this is probably not an issue with an FD. But just a week or so ago I helped a friend with his daughter's Probe and it was just such a case, despite a good soaking in PB and application of an air chisel/pickel fork combo. Maybe why I was a little negative on the job, as it was a PITA.
na im not arguing, it was more of an inquisitve thing, i've never run into them and was wondering if maybe thats a common thing that i somehow havent run into. considering ive run into almost every other headache possible lol.



who knows, i probably have had to do it and can't even remember back to it lol.



on a side note, anytime you have to work on any ford plan on using tons of pb on anything lol, ford's suck especially with the rust situation.



kevin.
