From what I've read this pin shown in the picture is suppose to press out. I guess many have used a vice for a press. I destroyed the old bushing with this method and got it out, but the pin won't budge and looks to be one piece to me.
Am I missing something or do I just need to take it to a mechanic with a press?  |

I just did this the other day too.
I used a bolt slightly smaller than the pin on one side. I put a deep well socket on the other and clamped it in my vice. It took a LOT more force than I thought to push it out, but it came out. I have yet to put it back in, but I test fit the new bushings and I am disappointed. The newer black ones seem a lot less firm than the stock white one was when I decided to "fix" it. Its kind of a PITA getting the black bushings into the Al. housing too. The shaft is hanging in the garage with a fresh coat of primer. Stu |
