Yes, I had set the hand brake. But what's weird is that it only sat for 24 hours after getting wet (from washing). It rusted up that quick? It seems both sides were siezed. I freed up one side with the mallot, which was enough to allow the other side to break free after a couple tries reving it in first. Thanks again, James V 86 Syncro Westy |
