I know we are following up posts on Murray Sunset on Willems Mally root post , but I just wanted to thank all who helped get Gregs car back on trhe road . Also to let you all know that he called to let me know he got the car
home safely
Broke all the top ball joint bolts , ripped the bottom ball boint out . Ripped out the brake line & and the wheel ended up under the car held on by the tie rod end .
Thanks to some bolts from Glenn and Jim getting his hands dirty lol We managed to remove the CV shaft , re insirt the bottom ball , into it's socket , clamp off the brake line with vice grips and then zip tie the clamps to the chassis . Find afew bolts to re bolt the top ball goint up , he was able to limp the car
home .
Move over Bush machanic's and make way for team EO

OK enough small talk. I broke it, I'm gonna fix it & I'm gonna jump it higher next time.
Thanks to all for an enjoyable first ever camping experience. Got the WAECO on order for the next trip, looking forward to it.
Thank you Eric & the others for helping me get back on the road. Next time I'll bring a map & some spare parts (wheels, axles, engine etc.)
Waiting to see some of those photo's & that vid Eric.
