It broke on the side I replaced the bracket just as I was turning into work this morning,it looks like I will be off to the junkyard in the morning and get a beam and radius arm. I have no way to heat the axle up to get the big bolt loose so replacing the whole beam and radius arm will be the easiest way to fix it.

 

you can pull of the beam, remove the coil, soak it in WD40/FLUID FILM/PB Blaster and pound the top of the bolt with a large sledge hammer. it should pop out the bottom after a few perfect hits. Then replace the bolt with a new one from home depot, yup they've got the bolt in stock usually!

 

All it takes is a big *** breaker bar and you'll snap that bolt right off.

 

I know a 2wd is made a lil different than my 4x4, but how do you knock the bolt out? And there's no way that two-ended stud is available at HD, especially in grade 8.

 

My bad, I missed that you are 4x4. so ya...double threaded studs are not at HD, lol!

 

I went to the junkyard today and they are going to pull the drivers side axle with radius arm for me,that will be the easiest way to fix it.

 

Easy is good.
