So i was stumbled, heard try a vice, so i bought a vice, i think the darn vice would rather bend before those darn bushings with budge the 5% they need to go before i can install the new rear shackles....any ideas stovebolters??! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 255 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 255 | I had same issue when I replaced mine. Take 'em back out and clean the hole with scotch brite pad or similar stuff. Also clean new bushing. Apply thin film of anti-seize to hole and bushing. Mash 'em back in. Check out tech tips on this - good info. Good luck! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Do everything tcox suggests plus freeze the new bushing.
