So... My sammi came with a uninstalled rear anti wrap bar... So... I'm trying to put it on!
http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/inde...sion-parts/sky-bolt-on-traction-bar-3839.html
But... The damn slide is frozen! Been hitting it with anti seize... Heating it up with a blowtorch, beating on it with a sledge, sliding cheater bars through the hole and trying to twist... Almost everything I can think of short of destroying it while trying to 'fix' it...
Anyone have experience/knowledge with these things? Like, how long is the slip shaft... So I know how far to heat it... I've basically given in to standing it upright and hitting it with penetrating fluid every time I look at it... I would almost just install it and hope the weight/flex of the rig frees it up... Except its frozen with about a 10 degree twist to it... So I don't think I would be able to get the bolts through the bracketry... Or maybe just install it with the sleeve and no bushings for a run to break it free... Dunno... Thoughts?
