Re: RE Long Arms
I would pull the lower joint off. If the bolt-less edge is too high, wedge
something between the frame and the joint to push it back into place. If it's too low, carefully use a jack. Failing that, get a sawzall and cut the bolt off inside the mount and let the joint drop out. Use a drift to get the remainder out.

Re: RE Long Arms
I have some tapered punches from Sears that I use to line up errant bolt
holes. perhaps that and Carl's jack/wedge would work. "Carl" <carlsaiyed@hotmailREMOVE.com> wrote in message news:VaudnYLLgL0v_2vZnZ2dnUVZ_qKdnZ2d@comcast.com. .. >I would pull the lower joint off.
