OK guys,
So I got the bright idea to finish what I started a week or so ago by moving cars into place to haul em off. But, how the heck do I remove the Aspen against the fence? I was kinda confused to say the least. I could get three wheels on it but it didnt have a rotor on the pass. side and I couldnt jack it to get one on there.
So, how DO you remove an Aspen 4-dr that is only on three wheels? I came up with this simple solution :laugh:.
First, you need a yard beater. No way was I gonna subject any of my good stuff to do this, so I used this '77 Fury 4-dr (which I got conveniantly running before this "expedition") that I am going to demo for a temp yard car:
Then, duh, you need a test subject. This happens to be a POS '78 Aspen 4-dr that is hitting the scrapyard as soon as I blow the front end off it (good fenders).
Look, Ma, NO ROTOR (which if you havent gotten by now, this is the reason for this test)!
So then what after you have the car and test subject? Well, for one, you need a very long chain, such as this:
Then what? Well, you attach the chain in a manner like this:
And then to the yard car like this:
Then what? Well, you get some slack in the chain, then hit First in the yard car and slam the gas, creating a jerking action. It may take several tries, but the three-wheeled Aspen WILL move and move out enough to put said missing rotor on and roll on all 4s.
So, what have I learned? Well, for one, a '77 Fury 4-dr with a Slant Six, 8 1/4 open, and a loaded trunk makes an awesome yard car! Not only did I pull the Aspen out, I also horsed other cars into place, all had at least one flat tire, Including a '75 Gran Fury 4-dr loaded with parts. This sucker flat out rules and I can beat on it as much as I need cause its leaving anyway.
