Manual says to hold for .5-1.0 second - I`ve tried .5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5 seconds with no success? I ended up welding a piece of metal on and using my big slide hammer and worked fine. I`m not even sure the studs would be strong enough to pull the thicker metal even if they were holding so I`ll just keep going with the welding and slide hammer method.

Front drivers one is done, the rear is caved in pretty good and the bottom of the spring perch is also bent up right on the bend, going to need a bit of heat there.

Third and last caved in frame rail repaired, somehow the passenger front escaped the wrath of all the previous owners floor jacks. :rolleyes: On to zapping up the holes from the self tapping screws used to hold the floor pan down tight and continue cleaning up the rest of the original floor and rails.
