I'm replacing the lower control arm bushings on my 64 C10, and they're real buggers. The packaging with the new bushings says for best results, torch old bushings out. I have no torch and my buddies are tight with their acetylene. That being said, does anyone have a method of extraction that is not torching? I'd really preciate it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 | Propane will burn the rubber out, or you can drill the rubber in several places to knock the center out. With a hacksaw blade, chisel, or cutoff wheel carefully split the outer steel shell without cutting into the arm. Curl the shell inward to free it from the arm.
Or take it and the new bushings to a machine shop and let them R&R them for you. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | Busted lots of knuckles doing it myself, The satisfaction of a job well done faded quickly. | | |
