[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1797526, member: 39284"] Yanked this hunk of crap out last night: [ATTACH type="full"]361039[/ATTACH] Bushings finally gave up the ghost. At first I thought my bypasses were way louder than I expected. Then I figured I’d check this thing out and sure enough was floppy as hell. After re-reading the 10 or so pages of merged threads regarding this I went out to tackle it. One dude mentioned being able to take it out with a ratcheting wrench so I figured I’d try that route. Is it possible? Yes. Is it easy? Not really. I think raising the box a little or cutting the bolts would have probably been the move but I’m hard headed. Also played with the idea of strapping a big zip tie around it which did work. Anyway if you go the ratchet wrench route and don’t have the kind that you can toggle the direction on be prepared to have your tool trapped between the bed and bolt if you back it all the way out. Advice would be to remove the tool while you can and then use the open end or fingers to back the bolt the rest of the way out. Got her done but it put up much more of a fight then I expected. All the clunking is gone now and I can hear the actual clicking of the bypasses. On to the next. [/QUOTE]
