What have you done to your rig today?

I think I invented a new move today... I've already perfected the floor jack under the breaker bar move but in this case I needed to pull down on the nut.. so I doubled wrenches on the nut side, then put the breaker bar on top of a pipe clamp. Anyone ever done this one?



Here's a close up- basically you need to hang your body weight from the extended wrench on the right.



they say the torque spec for these is 160 ft/lb.. and to set it again with the new UCA's you have to do it with the tires on the ground. So basically as tight as possible, then check it every now and then. It's too tight to get a torque wrench in there on the nut side, not that mine even goes up that high

Be careful if you are pushing down on doubled up wrenched with them under you, I had them come unfolded and the inside one flipped up and hit me in the face (top of the orbit of my eye actually). That was me trying to get a nut on a LCA loose. It actually gave me a concussion.

Sounds like a great opportunity to add another breaker bar to your tool collection. Glad you got it taken care of.

I made a bracket and installed some 5” fog lights where a light bar was designed to go on the 200. I think it fills the void nicely.
