What brand two arm puller did you use to get the torsion bars removed? That puller fits like a glove!You must be registered for see images attach
Thanks again. You pioneered the way and your work and updates will undoubtedly help many others.It is a Tolsen 6 inch 2 jaw gear puller. Model #65042. It really made short work of pulling them off of the bars. They were stuck and resisted the puller at first. I cleaned the hexes with brake cleaner and sctoch brite, then put never seeze on them before assembly. Thanks Glad I could help.
It does seem strange that they wouldn't advertise them as a replacement. These are way more K1500s on the road than AWD Astros. Looking at guy next door's AWD Astro there are some cheezy skid plates mounted to the bolt holes i showed in earlier pics. Witch would give them a different part number. But I noticed on a GM Parts site the Astro was included in the fitment chart. I haven't gotten it aligned yet but it is back on it's tires. i have to replace the clutch this weekend before I take it down.
