When you do the firewall bushing, do not be surprised if you find no bushing there at all. I have seen a few 914s now that did not have not there to start with. Funny things happen in 30 years.
Boil the firewall bushing and it is MUCH easier to install. Otherwise you are going to have to make a tool to press it in, which is a PITA (and the route that I took). Zach |

I crawled under it and inspected that area, what I found was that the coupler bushings had removed themselves. The firewall bushing is on its way also so it is on the list to. From what I read on that install they can be real bears to get drove in. So all tips and tricks are appreaciated. Thanks again Seth |

Thanks again Seth I just did mine - used a .75x3" bolt, nut, and a couple of fender washers. Bolt through the firewall, go underneath and slide the bushing on, follow with washer and nut. A little lube (soap or glycerin) will help, but it presses in real easy. Didn't even think about boiling it - Zach, is that to kill the rust viruses? |
