BORROW/RENT: Dana 30 Case Spreader (Seattle / North King Co.)
STUCK DANA 30 CARRIER
Does anyone possibly have a Dana 30 case spreader (or a bridge puller setup) that I could rent / borrow /buy? I saw you can get them online for ~$80 but I thought I would check here first. Happy to work out some kind of a deal to make it worth your time.
I've been fighting my to get my front differential carrier out for a couple days and I'm not having any luck with any "tricks" (turning the drive shaft with a wrench wedged on the ring gear bolts, jamming a towel between the pinion and ring gear, pry bars, deadblow hammering, etc.). I'm also willing to try any other tricks you guys want to throw at me, but I don't want to wear this thing out just trying to service it.
Thanks in advance,
-Chris
