[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1897830, member: 20013"] I had one that was super stuck. 20 ton press wouldn’t budge it. I had to let it soak in PB blaster for a few days, then heat it with a propane torch and whack the crap out of it with a 5lb sledge. I was almost to the point of cutting it off and just buying a new perch. I don’t know why ford didn’t coat that retaining ring. Raw steel against aluminum in a highly corrosive area is just dumb. I’m an aircraft designer and we go to great lengths to protect our aluminum from corrosion. I’m tempted to try to make my own stainless or titanium retaining ring if i start doing more rebuilds [/QUOTE]
