    Replacing the rag joint while while I got the master cylinder and brakelines out. I got the bolts out no problem , do the other two studs screw out? I used visegrips on them and they turn but I don`t think they are coming out. Am I doing something wrong? Also has anybody used a polyurthane rag joint?:huh:

    Gotta loosing the column tube from the dash and floor and pull column back to get the rag out. The 2 bolts at the rag is all that needs to be removed, the pins stay
