No Love, and no Joy !! Part 4 of FOUR !!

As Dexter would say..."SUCCESS!!!!"
As Hannibal Smith would say "I love it when a plan comes together."

I drilled holes in the LJ coupler, ground down some nuts a little, and installed the steering wheel puller.


Then, I turned the center bolt down as far as I could. It could go no farther because the threaded part was too big to go into the hole.


But, that left enough gap to remove the steering wheel puller and reinstall the gear puller.


And the gear puller was able to complete the job !!!


So the final picture on this repair is old coupling parts on the left and new coupling parts on the right. I decided to replace the one with the bigger center hole because it was just as old as the one with the missing teeth. Since this required a lot of work, better to do it now, than again in the near future.


Hope you enjoyed reading these posts. This was a chore, but entirely doable.
