What should I expect to pay for a used extendable lower link? Just the part that slides out for easy hookup. Don't ask why mine is bent. Also, would it be advisable to heat it to straighten back out. It's not bent bad. Just enough so you can't quite slide it back into the socket. My gut says get a different one. Thanks. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Take it to a good machine shop and let them press the bend out. If you use heat that will temper the metal and potentially make it break under a hard pull.

Local salvage yard wanted $50 apiece for them when I asked last spring. Was going to switch my 8010 from Cat II to Cat III. ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

The only way you can harden steel with heat is to get it to a "critical temperature" usually somewhere above 1600 deg F and quench it. Quenching can take place in air, oil, or water. Tempering is usually referring to the "draw" process that relieves stress and slightly decreases hardness. If you heat it up to straighten it and don't let it cool too fast you probably can't hurt it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

If it is only slightly bent, try grinding off the high spots and hand fitting it. That might be an easy substitute for heating or replacing.

Heat it,straighten it,pack it in sand to let it cool very slow.

Wrapping in fiberglass insulation works too.
