Excellent! Always nice to get a project that is a bit of a headache project done.
BTW, did you actually use a thread chaser or tap? If a thread chaser, did O'Reilly's have it?

Yeah O'reillys had a thread chaser kit. It worked like a charm. It was 100 bucks to "buy" it then I got all my money back when I returned it. I probably would have kept it but it had a limited amount of metric tools in it. After I ran that thing through with some pb blaster the bolts threaded in like a dream.
The project was intimidating at first but these trucks are actually pretty easy to tear down.
And for anyone that ever reads this, get the $14 pitman arm puller, it had that bj out in less than 30 seconds. I don't see any reason to mess with a BFH or a pickle fork at that price.
