First off, do these bushings look like they need to be replaced? They are pretty tight as the linkage seems to bind, not sure if thats good or bad.
Assuming that they do need to be replaced, how do you get them out? Do you drive the center pin out?   Kev |

They can be replaced Kevin ... using a socket on one side that is the diameter of the aluminum housing and a punch to drive out the pin on the other.
BUT Why would you want to ... they are not deteroriated and their stiffness in rotation has no effect on how the car shifts. Tight is GOOD as in other things in life. They won't fall out. The pin can only fall out if someone dicked with it and made it smaller to avoid the interference fit. |
