    A-Arm Bushing removal

    Do you have any good way to remove the a-arm bushings. Is the cross shaft natural or were the a-arms dip painted on a 71? Were the brake splash shields gold or silver my books say both ways on a 71.

      Per suggestions in previous threads, I used an air chisel at just the right angle and it took about 5 minute per arm.

      Sprayed a little PB Blaster and with the air chisel they popped right out.

      We had a large vise to clamp them in while knocking them out. Take precautions when using vise to prevent gouges in the a arms.

                  Glad it worked out so well for you. This board has been very kind and helpful and it is nice to be able to give back a little.

                      Hi Lyle,
                      I believe on 71 model year cars the front brake shields were typically plated dull silver and were stamped with a part number and an L or R.
                      Regards,
                      Alan
