Hello

Thanks for all the help on my threads Ive started and ones Ive brought back from the dead. I have a full puller set now and a pickle fork. Im replacing all tie rods and drag link, steering damper if needed, and idler arm rebuild. Any last minute tips on what to do/how to do it?

Ill be putting the 82 up on jackstands and will remove the air cleaner to help beat out the idler arm bushing and to seal the oil separator inside.

But doing the pulling/replacement, any suggestions on how to make it go smoothly and properly? Should I work from one end to the other, from both ends inward? Some other way?

I intend to photograph the whole thing. Perhaps it is all really simple and nobody really needs instructions, but Im just not that sure of myself and imagine there are others that feel the same way. If I do pictures, hopefully it will help others to have an upfrnt explanation and make it even simpler!

Thanks!
