Tricks for relay rod?
Last thing I need to do here and it's really pissing me off. Where do I start with pulling the relay rod? I just need to take it loose to swing it down on one end. I can't get the puller on the pitman because the tie rod is too close. I tried to take the tie rod from the relay but I can't get it to budge. What am I doing wrong that I can't get this stupid thing out?

put your jack under the pitman arm (or idle arm depending on which side you want down) as close to the ball joint as you can. When the suspension creaks like its going to start lifting after the slack is out of the suspension, crank it up another 1/2". 2-3 good whacks on the top of the bolt with a mini sledge should break it loose. (You can put your castle nut on upside down to protect the threads also if you want)
