Here's a tool That I used and it only cost me about 10 bucks at the hardware store. Thanks to another stovebolter's homemade tool. cool homemade tool to remove bushings

Since the holidays are coming if you get on some of these parts suppliers mailing list they are starting to send me discounts.

There's not much to do. I took my axle to a spring shop today to get the pins pressed out (only took a 50 ton press!) and we looked over all their parts and what they could order. Everything was on par with the cost of kits available from CPP, etc.

That is a cool tool - you could use it in reverse to push bushing in!

Good idea about the mailing lists. Going to do that right now.
