    Yes i have done that as well. I used the Turfor with a snatch strap wrapped around the bend and pulled it near to strait. My replacement (I am told) is an ex-military arm and is quite a deal larger in diameter than the stock unit and has served me well for about 6 years. I got it from Tim's here (landrover fellow), you may wish to consider one.

    I'm not familiar with the reasons why but it could be designed to be the weakest link.

    If you strengthen the arm you might break the next weakest link and that might leave you stranded.

    It's alot easier to carry a spare link than to carry a whole diff assembly
