What bushing? The three shift rod bushings? If so, I just did them and posted this:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...229&hl=YAST I wound up cutting a small notch, maybe 1/8" from the smaller flange, did the heat it in boiling water thing, then popped it in. Skip |

Boiling water for a few minutes makes them maliable.

i noticed th fw bushing seemed to be made of a dif material than the one i removed, harder/stiffer. same super kit. take the bushing to the garage while still in the hot water. don't take it out until you're all ready to install. i put a thin coating of lithium grease on the hole for the bushing before i even heated the bushing. you'll need a not too sharp, blunt, tool to work the bushing in. quickly now, get one section of the lip on the bushing just started and gently, trying your best not to tear the bushing, work your way around the bushing pushing the lip in with the tool. the bushing should compress/oval as you work it in. if the bushing is too stiff to flex, reheat it. this is the tool i used to work the bushing in.

Hey Man, just finished my last test for the week yesterday (yay!) Make sure to remove the shaft before you try to install the bushing. I only say this because it has happend in the past and is a common mistake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Kevin spelled out the best method I have found perfectly. |

I just used a piece of threaded rod to create a press. Line up the bushing take a long section of threaded rod with a nut and large washer. Put the large washer against the bushing and slide on end of the rod through the bushing and washer. Take the other end and find a nice solid part of the engine support bar to brace against. Now screw the nut down until the bushing pops in place.
Gotta learn to jurry rig when you work on these cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
