cab mount differences
« on: August 29, 2015, 02:23:59 pm »
just bought a set of rear cab mounts and the label says 4wd and my truck is a 2wd.  Are these mounts the same size or are they different for the two trucks?  just want to know for sure before i get into this project.  \thanks

Wouldn't budge from below with heat, oil or impact.  Going to try feeding the top side with penetrating oil for a couple of days.

You Need a cheater pipe on a 1/2 ratchet or pull handle

Although if you break the spot weld and spin the nut inside you got big trouble

My fronts were a bear, but I have always found working the bolt/nut back and forth to work(alternate tighten and loosen with an impact)

If the bolt breaks, it will most likely be because the shank rusted, not because of it rusting over the nut

no big deal if you break the bolt - when there that bad i cut the heads off and smack em thru - then you can just jam a large washer in there to take up the space - or weld a nut to a washer and the washer to truck - impact is the way to go

Actually breaker bar is the way to go to get them started. Impact wrench can over spin them and end up breaking the nut free in the cab. With a breaker bar its slow steady momentum putting pressure on the bolt which doesn't hurt it as bad and once its free then use your impact.
