Default Classic problem..Broken BP knee gib

The big problem with BPs..is that the area directly under the gib is
dished for coolant. There is NO flatspot you can put anything like a
jack on and get a straight up push.


Perhaps you could disk grind a flat in the appropriate spot. Some bondo and
paint afterwards to clean it up.

Could be an issue with the jack going right through the casting under load.
Would make a hellova bang.

Sounds like a lot of work for a clapped out BPT.
