    And She is back together! Gave all exposed area's a hit with the wire brush and gave a zinc coat to save her from rust. Thought I'd re paint the drum's while I had the can in hand!

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I spent the afternoon taking out my rear springs yesterday. This front Bolt was a Pita! The orientation is a design fault. I was preparing to take the tank out to be able to get the pin out. So I asked for advice and the answer was chop the thing off and reverse orientation when re assembling...

    ahh Really? They are in good condition. Okay. So loosen it all off and get a cut wheel up the inside and cut the bolt closest to the head and it should drop down the gap between housing and frame? Thanks @OR VietVet Appreciate your help.

    The U Bolts look in good condition so I am just giving them a wire brush and soaking them for a minute before un torking everything before I jack her up.
