Default Re: 40 Ford drop axle

Sid, Wishbone with axle and spring assembly is easy to remove on a 40 Ford. Jack car up and remove U-bolt nuts and then wishbone cup. Do not lay down under axle assembly when doing this. USE 4 LEGGED JACK STANDS. When you use heat do not hammer directly on the threaded end of the perch bolt to harshly or you will damage the threads. Be sure to keep a threaded nut on the threads to prevent distortion. Use anti seize when reassembling.
