I take the jaw inserts off my vise and mount them with just 1 bolt on each side leaving them stick out of one side of the vise. Slid a section of heater hose over them and open the jaws to pull the halves of the rod apart.

A brass drift on the loosen bolts will drive the rods up away from the caps also Last edited by Cab_Burge; 05/29/18 06:06 PM. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
