Re: 1977 K10 2" Lift Install
I'm reusing the rear shackles, and removing the factory rubber bushings is a huge PITA. I found the best method for me to be drill out the old bushing, spray with penetrating lube to get the bolt jacket out, then pop out the rubber bushing.
Once the bushing is out the metal sleeve must be removed from the shackle so the ORD poly bushing can be inserted. I used a hack saw to cut the sleeve, then fold in a corner and drive it out with a hammer.
Shackle installed.
And the rear end is back together.
