i would agree with everything you said Joe, but the box is still worth something to someone ? maybe, idk, but i would at least want the part back with the refund, or keep it at good sized discounted price, but thats just me.
I would have to agree with the damage report. Looks like a BFH damage to me. If you didn't know what you were doing then you should have never agreed to take the pitman arm off but you did so you need to make it right.
