anyone who has cranked these have a fun time doing it?? hard as F*** for me! and "tricks" to do it?

 

yes. spend $40 and go get a 7 ton gear puller from sears and then return it when ur done. i spend 5 hours and bent 5 c-clamps before i said F it and went n got a 7 ton gear puller and it took me 25 minutes to do both sides with the gear puller. GO GET ONE.

 

you cant just stick your wrench on there and start crankin??

 

ya you shouldnt have a problem with that at all. i thought u were trying to put in aftermarket keys. but tightening your stock ones shouldnt be any harder than tightening a bolt.

 

Could you lack up the truck and just count turns. also try PB Blaster "love that stuff"
