Thanks guy`s, you were a big help. After having the truck layed up for a few weeks with the whole front end apart, I just didn`t want to take any chances of screwing something up! Havn`t tried the heat `cause I was leary about frying any rubber seals or distorting something. Sean, if I can get this problem resolved, I`ll try and make the SNOWBALL run.Tired of wrenching...Ready to ride! Again, appreciate the info all!
