Geowiz Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Any suggestions on how to install this thing? Brute force doesn’t seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScotticus Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Protect the parts and use a lever to press the bar in. I tried this, as my SB is presently detached. I found if I pressed in then pushed the bracket down, I can finger the bolts in the bracket There appears to be a spring in the socket putting tension on the ball. I am curious if this tension is necessary? Edited January 19 by IamScotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmylukeii Posted Sunday at 08:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:41 PM I struggled with it. Destroyed one (maybe two) of the ball end pieces. What finally did it was: 1. Tons of grease on the ball end pieces and a little in the sockets. 2. Put one side in its socket. Driver side in my edited version of IamScotticus's pic. 3. With a rubber mallet, hit hard where shown in my edited version of IamScotticus's pic, towards the middle/driver side/side that is in a a socket.
