Unfortunately, I ran out of time. The car is at my folks' place, a 10 hour commute away... thanks to all for the helpful advice. The proper order of operations is one thing the Service Manual is only sort-of helpful with. Replacing all of the front suspension bushings, for instance! Oh well -...

Well, things went from bad to worse. Got one cam bolt off, peeked in behind the shock and saw some metallic swiss cheese. Beyond my capabilities, so it's off to the frame shop to have some welding/repair done. An unfortunate turn of events, to be sure. Still no luck on removing the other cam...

wjajr, that looks oddly familiar.... quite similar to the tool the service manual describes to release the upper ball joint. I'll see if I can fab that up tomorrow and put it to use. Incidental question: I've already gotten the upper ball joint out - I'll have to see where I can expand the tool...

Thanks for the words of advice, formulaS. You are correct on the pronunciation of BFH, by the way. I'll give the heat a try tomorrow; the rear bolt is now somewhat loose L to R, but still won't budge front to back. And now I have a reason to get some more tools! Won't my wife be happy about...

I recently picked up a PST polygraphite front suspension kit for my '67 fastback, and have been slowly going about replacing the various bushings, etc., that haven't been touched in 40+ years.... (I asked about some tie rod end removal info a week or so ago - thanks for the help!) So, here...

Thanks for the suggestions, all. I've tried the BFH approach, although I may see if I can jack the car up higher to get an even BIGGER BFH (would that be a RBFH?) on to it. I hadn't thought to reconnect the driver's side tie rod - that may provide the pushback, so to speak, that I need. I...

I'm in the process of replacing the bushings on my front suspension, and am now trying to remove the passenger inner tie rod end from my idler arm ('67 fastback, 273). The pickle fork I've been hammering on isn't doing squat to separate them. Any suggestions? Thanks - Alex
