How the heck do you get those things out? I have ordered new bushings with the new casings but I can't seem to get the old ones out. Any help wwill be much appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Burn the rubber to remove the inner part. Then you can remove the outer shell with a torch if you are good & careful. If not a muffler cutter or chisel.

Then take an 1-1/8 socket,which is the size of the bushing, and give it a smack with a hammer and it will come out.Please wear leather gloves to do this as I,m talking from experience, but it works great. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 37 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 37 | Thanks guys, I'll give it a try. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2 Moderated | | Moderated Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2 | Where did you locate the bushing shells, or I believe you called them casings. I destroyed the ones on my 65 C10 before I knew that you should save them. | | |
