[motorr50]

Has anyone pulled the bed off there Comanche,any old how to threads I can look at for help removing my six foot bed?

I cleaned out the garage and have a good amount of room to place that puppy right in the center with lots of room on all four sides.

There are a total of 8 bolts that hold the bed down. You will also need to remove the gas tank & emergency brake bracket. I did this recently and I needed to use PB Blaster, heat the bolts with a propane tank & use an air wrench to remove the bolts.

 

Here are a couple links:

Remember the most important tools, lots of elbow grease and a whole lot more patience.

Neah, just a long extension pipe on your breaker bar. The only bolts (or bolt like things) I have broken so far are brake lines where they were rusted to the flair nuts. Even with 21 years of Ohio rust I have managed to loosen every bolt or nut so far without breaking.

 

I did recently snap a wheel stud when TIGHTENING a lug nut. That was with my breaker bar and short extension pipe.
