To follow up on Bumnah's report. I took some pics of the lower control arm bushing install. I haven't done the front yet, so if this sparks interest, I may do the same with the front bushings.
Here's the tools I used:
Reciprocating saw
Flathead screwdriver
4" 3 jaw press (harbor freight $6) :thumbup:
Makita drill and 7/64 drill bit
4 lb. hammer.
Drill numerous holes around the bushing. The goal is to weaken the rubber to press it out with the jaw press.
This press is the shizzle! It saved my ass. Just yard on that thing and it should rip the center out.
Like so...
Cut through the bushing, through the sleeve. But be careful not to go through the lca.
Now that you have that out. Just lube up the new bushings and slap them in there.
ENJOY! :thumbup:
Update: Damn red x's will be the death of me!
Here's a link to the album until I get time to fix it.
