Hi. Frances and Dan from Tinkergineering here. Do these [see photo] end mounting brackets need to get pressed out, and if so how do I do that? should I need to heat it up? We got the front and rear suspension all removed. I know Ian had talked about the turbo tie rods. Why is this upgrade important/wanted?
keep on tinkering! Attached image(s)

Easiest way to remove the bushings is to heat with a torch (outside your garage) until they smoke a bit and then pull them apart with some channel lock pliers or similar. New turbo tie rods don’t cost much more than stock ones but they are worth the upgrade. When it’s time to reinstall the new bushings, either use some all thread (plenty of YouTube videos or have a friend with a press set them in place for you. Ian’s videos are very good for the home diy suspension refresh.
If you have a powder coating shop near you, they can blast and re-coat everything at once. Glad to see you back on this. |
