I have a 55 1st that I would like to replace the front axle bumps as they have harden too much. Does anyone know how to remove them and keep the new ones in place as well as old ones are staying in their little box? Stewart

I drilled the center out of mine to get the old ones out. It was much quicker than trying to pry them out from the bottom. I used a vise and a big socket to press the new ones in, biggest thing I found was that they are slightly tapered so they need to go in from the bottom. They didn't go 100% in, but when I tightened the U-Bolts down it down the rest of the work keeping them in there. Hope that helps
