Sorry about the delay, alot going on lately...
Anyway, this is what I did. Had to put a floor jack under the ratchet, cause I can't find my breaker bar and the impact wrench was reduced to tears by the main bolt. As soon as the bolt broke loose, the bracket fell apart.
As I fought the others loose, (Thanks to the sea-foam wunder spritz,) The bracket came off and I noticed the entire center of the bracket was broke and loose. (Couldn't see it with the bushins in place...)
Oh, and the bushins were poly, btw...

Yeah. And today I caught myself 'tip-toe-ing' over the same set of rxr tracks I used to launch over just a week ago.
Ya know, ya beat 'em into the ground, and they keep coming back for more. Ya find something like this, and it changes ya. When the main bolt came off, the front-to-back play in the wheel assembly was incredible. (And I had it on ramps) I can only imagine if the bracket would've let go on a good run...
Thanks for the rant, take care, and be safe.
