Adjusted the wide front on my CA this weekend and the linkage arms refuse to extend, either completely rusted or?? Tried the blue wrench, 48" pipe wrench, liquid wrench etc... not much left.....whats a good replacement I can order?? Something off a pickup truck etc?? What size is the ball joint taper....

Thanks

Put penetrating oil on and let soak then use a hammer of about a pound and hammer all over it .Lay it on something solid and hammer it and it has tendecy to stretch the metal and it will eventually get loose.

Well that worked really well!! Both sliding like new, had to spin the axles around side to side as one of the taper pins let loose and tore up the hole and as long as I had them removed I thought I would widen them a bit.....
