Hi Guys,
I've been working with Mark and Matt at 914 Rubber over the past few weeks to refine the installation process and shoot a video for their a-arm bushing kit. Happy to report that it's finally ready for primetime! Shout outs to Bruce and Cary for all their contributions as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AysZlHr2lM And here's a video on how I removed the a-arms and bushings using a press and heat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa-apYYIjlg Coming soon... – 914 Rubber master cylinder install – "Bench" bleeding in the car – 914 Rubber Rebuilt steering rack with turbo tie rods – Front wheel bearing replacement Hope you enjoy my videos. Just trying to give back to this amazing community. Apologies in advance for worsening the addiction. Have fun with all the innuendo. Can't wait to read the comments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Ian |

Glad the video was helpful Brent! These are great suggestions. And...just so you have no regrets or second-guesses...if you used the impact driver to pull the bushing on without heat, it probably would rip. Ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).
Congrats on getting this done. Please post a pic of your winnings! |

Ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). Congrats on getting this done. Please post a pic of your winnings! Good to know! FWIW, I toyed with installing per the Elephant Racing video using a clamp and pressing on cold. I figured if both bushing types are OEM type materials and durometer, it should work. The problem I ran into is that the heaviest pipe clamp I have and can get for a reasonable price doesn't have long enough jaws to drive the bushing in straight. A clamp like they show in the vid is quite expensive and would blow any DIY cost savings. I took zero pics of the install process as my hands were quite full just trying not to screw it up. My hat is off to you being able to accomplish this while video recording! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Here are a couple of pics of the result that I posted on my build thread this morning: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-20845-1551123247_thumb.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-20845-1551123260_thumb.jpg) There are several more pics of the front axle assembly install on that thread for anyone interested: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2692153 |
