That looks compact and convenient as hell.

Ball joint press getting the job done.

Yes, it's been on my wish list for a long time! All I need is a mini set for what I would do. I actually have a plasma cutter, but not enough compressor to utilize yet. We use propane and oxygen a lot at work for cutting steel. If I was to do my projects at work I would have access to it. But...

Got the UCAs off, took all afternoon. Really needed a gas axe. All of the bolts were siezed horribly.

Found some pre-loved wire to finally link my second battery to my primary for plow season. Ended up wire looming it as the 2ga wire was yellow. I couldn't handle looking at that. I need to get some 2ga, 3/8 stud Lugs.

Yeah, next time (expecting 2 years) I will not be doing this again. To be honest, I didn't plan on replacing the trans lines at all. I will look into a custom setup. I have long term plans for a 40K TruCool auxiliary cooler which will need custom lines. Just didn't have the funds right now for it.

Well trans lines went much better today. Up until the last line going from the aux cooler to the trans. Just couldn't get it to clip, the flare was just not right. I wasn't pulling that stupid thing back out. Sat there with emery cloth and filed the seat down by hand. Finally got a good seal...

Definitely the plan for now. Still was a struggle to even unthread! But now that I will have the new ones in hand I can assure proper sockets and lengths!

Revisited the transmission line debacle. Ended up just unthreading the adapters. Going to get new ones. I think my issue is I wasn't re-installing the clips right. It's just damn near impossible up in their homeland. Of course now I am short 2 e-clips, and to get something quickly local you need...

I wanted too eliminate this stupid e-clip things, but I couldn't find a complete kit with all fittings and lines for under $300. In another time crunch again so I just got aftermarket replacements. I wanted GM stuff but it was over $200. I'm going to get new thread in adapters today with new...

Today sucked. Worst project of my life, and didn't even finish. Going to need a serious brake bleeding, I'm out of DOT 3 fluid too. The stupid trans lines didn't come with new clips. There is little to no access along the passenger side of a 4l60e. I replaced these lines about 2-3 years ago...

I went looking for the poly bushings and only see them without the shells as well, for now I think we will just press in the Moogs. I am still missing one of the 3 transmission lines, delayed in shipping. We also ordered 2-gallons of Fluid Film, that has been delayed over 2 weeks now. Of course...

My original intent was to go all TTX (uppers and lowers), but i just can't swing the cost right now. I already ordered the Moog stuff, but what brand has the urethane ones? I plan to do all the lines, then the bushings last.

You are 100% correct on that question. So how it originally went down was that I launched the parts cannon at it before our last TN vacation 2 years ago now. When I did the big rocker job. Just a few days short of leaving for our trip, performing final inspections I found out the passenger...

I have a ball joint press and luckily my old man has a 20T HF shop press. To be honest didn't even think about trying the ball joint press.

I ordered the Dorman SS complete prebent brake line kit. Hopefully the quality is good. From what I see on YouTube it looks well made woth accurate fitments. It took me a bit to find the right kit as my Yukon doesn't have the JL4 RPO code which is a different kit. JL4 indicates stabilitrak. I...

Got the new manifold installed. Made a fatal error that cost me a good 30 plus minutes of struggle. As you can see in this pic I forgot to pull the lower steering shaft back up after dropping the manifold down alongside the head. Yep, its now stuck below the manifold. 3 options came to mind...

Manifold, gaskets, and O2 came. Love it when the manufacturer skimps out on packing materials to save $3. The manifold went for a ride loosely creating swiss cheese holes in the box and roasted the downpipe crush ring gasket. Will have to find a new one locally, then fight with Dorman on a...

Cleaned up the face some, needs a little ScotchBrite still. Ended up ordering a Dorman manifold, the heat shield was disintegrating. I don't think I would be able to get a new heat shield for it or even get the crazy crusty bolts out.

We succeeded in removing the 2 broken studs. Vice grips and a quarter turn at a time. The manifold itself is solid, heavy rust scale. The heat shield is wasted......
