The way I remove the pitnum arm is to use 2 hammers 1 held against one side while striking the opposite side with the other hammer , what that does is stretches the metal just enough that it falls off

Keep them coming! My older brother told me to watch the series from the beginning, so I’m hooked now, haha. Seriously, though, great videos! Who doesn't love Fords, fab, and beer?

Good work bro! My 96 bronco needs some upgrades now :D

What size is that IceCo?

When I pull pitman arms. I load the tool with an impact and smack the the hex end of the tool with a hammer. Normally works pretty good. If I can’t get a hammer in to hit it I have a socket adapter thing for my air hammer that I can normally fit in.

Kevin, Your videos have become what I look forward to watching on Sunday mornings with coffee. You've beat out MORR for what I look forward to watching first! Your videos get me inspired and motivated to get out into my shop and work on my own desert toys more. Thanks for sharing. I love your shop intern. Reminds me of my daughter's participation in the shop when they were young. Awesome! Good catch on the PS cooler positioning. I love that you show your mistakes and how you work through them to find a solution. I think your 6 bolt upper link mount will be good. I know it's all done but I hope you made sure your mating surfaces were clean and flat so that you are "metal to metal", not "metal to crud to metal" so that you develop max friction between your bolted parts. Also use grade 8 fasteners (fine thread if you got 'em) and torque them to develop max friction between the two parts you're bolting together. On the puller - after you tighten up the puller real good, like as tight as you can before you feel like it'll break or slip off, hit the end of the puller screw with a good size hammer. Don't mess around. Give it a good wrap. No hitting it with your purse. This utilizes the PRESSURE you've developed with the thread and then adds IMPACT at the same time pressure is being applied. Much like you were trying to do with the air hammer on the sides but being in line with the direction of PUSH is the key. I've been using this technique for years on industrial machinery and it is often the last little bit of help needed to break free any stuck item and get it moving. Sure, you will mushroom the hex head over time but you just carefully grind it down till a socket will fit and you're good to go. Lookin' forward to next week's vid and to the OnX challenge vids. Great to hear your wife is coming along.

$3,500 for that Bronco?!?! I hope I can sell you the next vehicle you want. 😆

That is a long drive for a free Bronco.

She’s looking good loving the build and the channel you should be ok with that trac bar when I did my SAS I got the kit from Jeff’s bronco for the trac bar and it’s way shorter than the drag link it is at the same angle though I thought it would drive like crap but 65-70 mph straight down the road shout out to your dad he’s killing it can’t wait for next week.

Just 10 minutes in and I'm thinking to myself, there has been more consecutive days in a row showing the OnX build vs all the other contestants. Good for you!!! Do they have you listed on the vote section? Yup they do and I just voted for ya!

This is a good channel - the editing is on point and this project is interesting. (Maybe shorter videos, 48 minutes is asking a lot) I think this could take off with more projects or a collaboration - 10, 50 100+K subscribers. Keep going - good luck!

@32 minutes you talk about labelling it. I find it best to just make a playlist and keep it in order for those of us who do like to see everything rather than jump into the middle of the build. I actually found your channel recently ad went into your previous videos and watch them all in order. Now I keep up to date with the project and if I missed a video I go watch the older one first.

I use a pickle fork at work, when I have to replace the pitman arm in trucks.

Ow I need to check my PS cooler. Mine does have the ports on the side. I think it’s lower than the resi. I don’t know offhand if the inlet is on the top or the bottom. It does make sense to push the air out the top. I need to check.

A solid sorbet break makes everything better. Nice work this episode! I’m gonna see if I can add a Kevin-approved magnetic drink koozy cause that’s perfect for the shop.

This build is sick as far as the bolt in mounts what size bolts? Definitely use some good grade 8 hardware and it’s should be fine

Congratulations!! And hopefully you will never see tie rod coupling like that again…

Your daughter is becoming quite the helper drives tractors cut metal and camera operator. It's bad luck to kill spiders

Where do you find a magnetic beer koosy ?

Metalcloak longarm kit bolts on the new Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler. I think you’ll be fine bolting the link mount to the frame.

Loving the bronco. One of my favorite suv. It’s going to be awesome.

I was wondering when you’d realize that you’d trap a $hit ton of air in that steering cooler 😂.

haha, first to the comments...just watched Colt's drop out video...guess you are a legit competitor now, perhaps they sling you his votes?

For my build I used the truck harness and the just wired the rear window separately. I found that to be more easier. Since I didn't keep the ABS and this helped me eliminate issues. Since I had a dual tanks and factory tow package.

They were so good they quit making them to bad

Gonna say your looking good for 43 now. Happy Birthday whatever your age! Glad to watch a regular guy working on vehicles - no race shop or business like the other teams in the OnX competition!

Love seeing your dad working hand n hand with ya! His hydration comment made me laugh!.

arachnophobia - John Goodman with his flame thrower - lol. Get that spider!

I just voted for you :) Glad you got in!! And for age I'll go with 17 for the 20th time :) Happy Trip Around The Sun!!

Great to see the bronco isn't much different than my ole 77 suburban tailgate. Brings back memories for me of swapping 1 out and the power motor as well!

Nice ride you got there - maybe 1 day I will get another 4x4, as I miss my 4x's for sure! For now I am the 2nd owner of a 05 Excursion XLT 5.4 2x4. Got it from my MIL for a deal. So much better than my 09 Traverse I just sold a month ago.

More boat content would be good to me. We are boaters from California as well lake havasu boater visitors every summer and now we live in Texas Great content

Your little girl is so silly 😊 Reminds me of my daughters when they were younger ❤

What do you do for a living? Love the build, you’re making crazy good progress!

What's up with the clean WJ in the yard? Awesome build you have going. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏

So I guess you’re not an alternate now that Rory and Colt dropped out. Welcome to the show I guess. lol. Can’t wait to see the full size Bronco 7.3 in action.

43

Been following the build and binged the series again. Awesome work. I’m gonna say you’re 43. Happy Birthday!

Cool build and I'm not even a Ford guy. Lol. My guess is 36 years young. Happy birthday!

Why are you not doing a 4 link on the front?

they should have opened up voting for the "wild card" you guys!

42!!!!!!!

Great build and good to know “child labor” starts at 12ish 😂

40 isn't old for a tree!

2:40 Cut or Cuddle? lol

Crazy how that weld didn't penatrate that's a sweet weld

Should I push the front axle at least two and a half to 3 in forward from the factory location, so the tire doesn't hit the rear corner at the fender well

How have I not seen your channel before? I love real people doing real stuff. Working in a garage and carport is awesome!!! Glad to finally meet you. Well KZbin meeting.

40th birthday

Happy Birthday! Great build! We're never over 40! Lol
