Dana 60 outer axle shaft "slinger"? Needed or no? It fits onto the shaft, but then the seal I typically use won't work then. It is the Ford seal. Do inner spindle seals differ GM v. Ford?

I need help freeing up pistons. I've used penetrating oil, brake cleaner and used DEX/MERC because that's what I had sitting around, but in almost 2 weeks nothing has changed.
You're an idiot
A little more info about the motor? pull the headds and beat them out? start from scratch?
Thanks! You could help me not be an idiot or just call me an idiot, either way is cool with me. I find it funny you're hiding under a new account.
It's a 5.8 and I've got the heads off. I don't care about the pistons I just didn't want to mess the block up at all. I guess I'll try to pull the crank out and try to beat them out of the block with my bfh. This is the block I am using for my stroker motor that will eventually end up in my mustang. The cylinders will be bored .030 over so if the cylinders get messed up a little I guess that's fine.
What?
How did you plan on hurting the block by knocking out pistons? If the pistons are froze chances are the cylinders will have some pitting. You said you were going to make it a stroker motor so you said you would be boring it .030 over (so light pitting will be no issue here) and changing the crank. The motor needs to come apart regardless, beating the pistons (which you obviously plan on replacing) will in no way "hurt" the block. In some cases the pitting wont clear up even by going .060 over and thus a sleeve would need to be installed. Also, if moisture got to the cylinders chances are moisture got to the mains and rod bearings. They could also be stuck so all the forces combined you would not be able to turn it over by hand. You are an idiot for dicking around with atf, penetrating oil, and brake cleaner for 2 weeks on a motor that needs to be disassembled anyway, which i am willing to bet will never be reassembled and will almost certainly end up as scrap in Bryan Iron.

This only my second time tearing down an engine and the first time dealing with stuck pistons, so I wanted to make sure I didn't mess the block up at all. My bad for asking about it instead of diving into it. This won't end up at bryan iron and I'm glad that you know me so well you think it will. This isn't ending up in some trashed out off road rig that doesn't matter much so I'm taking my time with it and trying to do everything right.
i like where this is going:argue:
I forgive you
