Deere-est Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I've tried this and it snapped mate, I guess heating it up? Wouldn't know for sure though. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Leave it well alone... it WILL snap for sure Quote
FB Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I HAVE 2 UNIMOGS, BOTH HAVE NO LINK ARMS DUE TO ME TRYING TO BEND THEM BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNG :'(....PLEASE DONT TRY IT!!! ooops seem to have been doing a 'Joseph' impression there Quote
