Should I just toss the old torque members - or can they be salvaged some how? The pin won't seem to budge, all pins on each rear side.

I've got the 'new' rebuilds for the rear ready to go in, and they came with new torque members, but would like to store some extra parts if they can be of use.

 

you might be able to salvage them if you get the pin out and if there's not too much pitting inside. otherwise you can toss them.

 

^ What he said ^

Take a vice grip to the slide pin, plan on replacing the slide pin, see if the torque member is still good.

 

Throw the whole car away instead.

 

Thanks guys - I tried everything, I even started hammering the pins with the mallet. I'm just going to toss them, as the rebuilds come with new torque members and pins. I'm going to try and keep on top of greasing these new ones so this hopefully won't happen again.

Dan did you do the Montreal trip? How was it. I heard that city never sleeps, as in the downtown is quite lively all night. I remember going to a huge rave there when I was younger.
