I didn't post it because I do not think they are a vendor, but here goes: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/10...Val-9TgnJR&eaid=30412026870&x_eaid=dd3e4fc6d0

I just spent 4 or 5 hours adjusting to mid perch. ON ONE SIDE. I'm going to have to do the other tomorrow.
Man doing a perch adjust on a 2yr old is a PITA.
Set screw wouldn't come out. I tried a screw extractor but there was too much junk in the way to get a good angle on it. So I drilled it out. Slowly. Drilled a little, hammered a little, drilled a little, hammered a little... broke 3 drill bits.
Realized the sticker was snagging and pealing back so I pushed the perch down a bit, ripped off some of the sticker, got back to it.
I had beat the crap out of the perch with my rubber mallet, so much that the metal from the mallet was starting to chew through the rubber and I didn't realize until I saw a few small dings on the perch. Flipped it to the other side and continued.
Putting the tie rod back on the knuckle the tie rod bolt kept spinning because the nut was pretty tight/bound on the bolt. I had to tweak the heck out of my impact wrench and spam the startup to get enough of the bolt exposed through the nut so I could grab it with a wrench and finish the rest off by hand.
Gross. But it'll be worth it.

Gave her an oil change and greased the slip yoke.

For those who are greasing the slip yoke, are you seeing remnants of grease in there? Or bone dry?

Bone dry... 2011 with the newer drive shaft.
