I have a 15mm sway bar that I'd like to install on the '75 while we have the fuel tank out (replacing the plastic lines with SS lines).
I've never replaced bushings before, so I'm looking for some expertise from you guys. The new Pelican bushings appear to be different than the OEM ones we pulled off. The old bushings had a linear slice that allowed me to remove them. The new bushings are a harder compound and not sliced. Do I slice them with a hacksaw? or band saw? ... or do I place them in boiling hot water and press them on?

Yep, these are the bushings that go around the torsion bar at each side, not the drop-link bushings. Still waiting for the drop-link bushings ... hoping to pick those up sometime this coming week.
Just need to get the torsion bar bushings installed so we can reinstall the fuel tank. I can install the drop-links at a future date. Thanks for the answers ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
