C'mon Ziggy harden up mate.
As Dattodude said hold one FBH horizontal and stationary against the steering arm next to the nut and use another hammer to hit the arm on the opposite side. Mostly people are not successful as the hammer blow is not square to the stud axis and the energy is lost. In 35 years I've not seen one that will not come out if done correctly. Stubborn maybe but they all come loose. Hope this helps.
BTW guys heating forged steering components is a VERY large no-no.

If everything measures to spec them maybe the float is loose on the pivot pin, wobbling around the chamber and snagging on the float chamber walls. Fix is to carefully remove pin and float and rework the section of the float that wraps around the pin so it is a tighter clearance fit on the pin. Then reassemble.

BEWARE - the float pin need to be tapped out with a very small pin punch while carefully supporting the one leg that clamps the pin. The alloy legs are mega fragile. Don't ask how I know.

I used a mill to deck the block. Then you need to make allowance for the fact that the rocker geometry is now not quite right.

Some info re the law in Vic: http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/S ... /ChildrenUnder6months.htm
I'm in the business and there is no way I would put an infant in the front seat of my 1200 ute when I think of some of the idiots out there. As an adult I get to make my choice for me but I owe it to an infant to make the best choice possible for them. Your call and I hope you don't have to live with any consequences. Choose wisely Grasshopper.
BTW - you should drive a Fiesta b4 u bag it - they are an absolute hoot - not quite as involving as a 1200 ute to drive but would eat it hands down.

Quick - buy it now and be the only one to have one. The runners are little longer which would help a bit with the bottom end BUT as you say the flow may not be as good AND its just a little bit overpriced. All his stuff is mega expensive. He's seems to bank on the fact there's one born every minute.

As it says. Ring gear condition is not important. No damage other than surface wear.
I'm in Melbourne.
Thanks
