    I think this is the stuff I used to carpet my bed box. It's surprisingly durable.

    Thanks, I might try that. Years ago I sprayed some Jeep Comanche wheels. They turned out great and helped me get twice the book value for it. They still looked good a few years later.

    Nice call with the bottle jack boys. We went to work with my sawzall and finally got the bed to separate from the frame. Diablo blades are the shit.

    I cut horizontally right across this area on both sides.

    I did some research and it's not just a press I would need but I would also need to custom fab a jig to hold the axle in place while doing the pressing. That's beyond my Proffesional Mechanics Academy of YouTube degree.
