BIG FUCKING HAMMER! I just redid the front end on my falcon. I found various pry bars, an air chisel to cut some stubborn nuts, and a set of ear muffs quite handy. Really suggest the ear muffs, bangin away on a front end is a great way to make your ears ring.
Go to chevytalk.com. Look under the 49-54 Chevy forum. Up at the top of the first page is a step by step photo tutorial on rebuilding your front suspension. I did mine on my 50. Not hard to do by any means. I got all my rebuild stuff from Kanter. Todd Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
