I'm in the middle of replacing/installing body pads and have run into a problem. I removed the four donuts at each end and the two clamps on each side. I jacked up the left side right behind the generator with my bottle jack about one inch, cleaned with acetone and glued and screwed a new pad into place. I moved over to the right side and tried to jack it up but it started lifting the frame with the body. I looked at every thing I thought maybe could still be holding them together. I had earlier removed my Ragusa step. The black tank is fastened to the frame and the body can be lifted about three inches before the drain pipe interferes. QUESTION: What am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,
You may have shot yourself in the foot; however, sharing your mistake will help others!
Plus Liquid Nails Fuze-It is a great tip; the pads ain't movin'!

I found the problem........me. I glued both sides of the rubber pad and it set up really fast. I should have only glued one side.
The glue holds so well that using a 12 ton bottle jack would not separate the body from the frame. The glue (Liquid Nails Fuze-It)
feels rubbery to the touch but it is strong. Now to cut that first pad free. Live and learn.
Thanks,
Jerry
