that would definetily make a difference in the bushing install!! Cesar had a good idea of using the lift like a press..but VERY CAREFULLY!! whatever's clever, if it doesnt get done at the party is no worries (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

I used #1 bottle of dish soap and water, #2 Extra Long Plastic Mechanical Wood Clamps that have a squeeze handle that allows you to slowly tighten and squeeze closed with continual pressure. Cheap tool think (home depot) worked fine but not as easy as the install video's with huge press or vices... Shadetree Mechanic for sure but got the job done.. |
