Holy Crap guys.... You all are making my head hurt.

I've never experienced the trouble I'm reading about here,,especially with the bushing installation. Ever hear of wheel bearing grease? A little goes a long way to smooth this job out.

Re: A-Arm Bushing Removal

Wow! Lots of different opinions and methods. I am today removing the rubber and will try once again to get the sleeves to budge.
Mike I looked at NAPA web site but not sure which tools I need. Do you have time to get me part numbers or names of the tools? There are several listed and I am just not sure which I need.
And I agree that this is the worst (if not a closee 2nd to worst) job I have encountered on the rebuild. Differential carrier bushing removal and trailing arm bolts are right at the top also.
Gary...thanks for the link to Vtechcorvette. If I can not get them out this time, I am going to give them a call.

Regards to all for the help. David

Hi Dave,

I used a 1/4" bit and ran it in between the inner and outter portions of the bushing. This way all I had to deal with was the pressed portion of the bushing.

I then was ablbe to cave in the bushing with a hammer and chisel and it fell out.

Hope this helps,

Chuck
