Anyone have tips on removing the rubber bushings from the front shock alignment plate/mount without destroying them? I'd like to take this apart to clean and repaint but the bushings look great and I'd like to reuse them.
Thanks! |

I'm working on the this as well. I used my hydraulic press to press out the old bushings. The factory bushing is one piece while the replacement bushings are two pieces. It's gonna pop that old bushing right out but be careful as the steel housing may jump up a little. Keep your fingers clear. Make sure you order and get the correct set. The 914 uses a different upper bushing vs the 911. I know this for a fact. The replacement set that I purchased does not fit the upper part of the bushing housing.

I'm sure the 914 and 911 bushings are the same as well as the strut top camber plate. Edit - I took a look. 2 different bushings depending on the year. 911 341 018 01 - '65-'70 911, 912, 930, 914 911 341 018 00 - '71-'89 911, 912, 930, 914 @LukeM |
