Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA
here the bushings outta the a-arms, should have the arms coated and all put back together this weekend. so the trick my friend used was drilling out the bushing with little drill holes, then he was able to punch the center pin out. Then he used a chop saw to cut the bushing retainers down. Then he took a punch and mushroomed the retainers and chiseled them out. Took him about an hour to do all 4.
I'v seen guys and I have tried the ol bolt through and washer technique which when you tighten the bolt, pulls the bushing through. well that wasn't working out. If I had oxygen in my tank I coulda torched them out, but go figure I didn't. So anyway, little quick tip if you guys plan on removing the rubber bushings, which I highly recommend doing. I got the poly ones with sleeves and bushing retainers from summit for like $50.
