how to fix bent radius arm mount. was created by jonesyba420

I did this a while back crossing over a metal irrigation pipe that was across a lane!!!

ive tried the obvious hitting it with a hammer with no success as its a bugger to get to so anyone got any ideas that a DIY mechanic with limited resorces could try??

That's something I wouldn't expect to see bent. :blink: I was looking at the radius arm. :blush: I actually messed up my hand permanently trying to free off one of those bushes on an SJ. I was using a club hammer. I'd probably try a very, very large stilson and if it is far enough round then a 7" vice.

i know but then alot of people fit radius arm mount guards so i guess its actually a weak point. is j999pre on here? would mean cutting it off the chassis then welding a replacement on which is beyond me

i want to fit www.offroad-armory.com/store/index.php?r...20_75&product_id=240 but cant untill ive straightened it out.

My drivers side has the problem... Solution?

Hammer
Prybar
Elbow grease

It will bend back

If all else fails apply heat and repeat

Try an ajustable spanner NOT adjustable pliers may be worth dropping the arm out or HIT it with a HAMMER dont tikkle it with a hammer
