I guess we better fix it insitu next time.... but currently car is in my garage undergoeing serious changes..... cool to get results ainit?

I finally got the Drop Arm out of place.. I took out the steering box.. A job I will never ever try doing.. Was a bit messy.. But Les adviced using a Chrome Bar which I "found" at an abandoned work site for some years ago... Now it is done... here are som pics.. I managed to break one of the Pullers... Those who adviced changing insitu must be real wise.... listen to them,,,,Anyway it is done.. Thanks to Les' Chrome BAr... Bang Bang Bang and it came Off in a jiffy... No sweat....

I guess this fella is in need of dough..... Broke to the joints......

I must admit that I am a " noobie" in the Landy world but take extreme precautions when going underneath the "monster" of a car.. Def 110 td5 99 model.... My worst fear is to end up in a bloodpool... I have my phone next to me and support it on 3 stands. I always assume the first one will miss and the 2nd will take the weight and if that misses the 3rd can tolerate the rest... It is not that easy though.....grrrrrrr .. U should simply see me going under ,,,, It is a scary business.. I wonder if anyone has been WELL SANDWICHED under a Landy...... Hope I am not giving readers the creeps..

The drilling method is simply the best... I have drilled off 12,13,14,15,16mm nuts and gosh it save a lot of time. Remember to use a drills for metals not the weak ones for wood... It did the job even on my shock absovers... good luck

Wow that was a PITMAN PULLER..... Owww ma Gawd!!!! I am actually planning to get off the whole box and renew the seals... But that was something.. I will find a workshop that can borrow me one...Thanks for the tips..

Really?.. Was there enuf space to hit the lower part of the pullar arm? did you use a sledge hammer? And how hard did you hit?... Just curious.. Currently at work and still making plans to get the #¤!! thing off... Even though i have supported and resecured the chasis.. do not want to end up in bloodpool out of loosing the stand.Looking forward to taking pictures when it is out......

Owwwww.. getting the chills down my spines... I guess a solid hydraulic shock to it will help.. I can see they used locktight in addition... The safety measure here was overdone I guess... Tell me how it went with the Hydy puller....

Grinding my teeth now..... .Well I will give it a try then.. The plan is to armour myself to the teeth..... thanks for the tips.. Will tell you how it went...

I got it Les.. that was cool..... I will give it a try tomorrow... Thanks for the tip.....I better fight it like a Zulu worrior... with your Chrome...

Hi Fellows.... I got this twisty movement on my td5 110 99 model and making the effort to change the drop arm.. The problem is that it is simply impossible to get the drop arm out.. I just could not believe how those...%&? words came outa-ma-mauwth( outofmymouth).. Anyway I am also using a tool to pull it out but to no avail... I have a pic on here.. Any one been into this?

When I bought mine, I had the same problem.. td5 110 99 mod. I bought new catridges or lock cylinders and changed it... When it is locked, there is a metal pin that stands upright...( ooohhh what was I thinking now) when opened it clicks down. It is an easy operation actually.. most likely an hour or less.....Good luck
