Okay... What's the secret to install the white Weltmeister poly cup bushings to replace the stock crumbling rear swaybar bushings?
Oh, and I can tell you how NOT to remove a link. That thing snapped like a bra strap in the 6th grade. Gotta hit the classifieds to find someone with a used one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) |

Aaron is da master. He did a set in like 5 minutes or something at scott's house. But the trick is: heat it up, then bang it in. Make sure you get them both in the right orientation. I cant imagine how frusturating it would be to have to take one out beacuse its not in right...

Aaron and I talked about it last month... but I already had a six-pack of mexican beer by that point. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
That gets it into the link. I can boil them in the kitchen, and use a mallet on the counter to pound them in. Then... putting the links in place is just more application of a BFH? |

Ohh, we discovered a new trick that makes live much easier. Get the links on the bar first (with channel locks outside the car). Then get it set into place. Get a big 2x4, prop it against something, and bang the shit out of it. It works like a charm!

I used a large c-clamp and squeezed them in. At least that's how I remember. Put them on to the large shock bolts, then install the bolts and THEN attach them to the bar, again with the c-clamp. A pickle fork works real good to remove them.
Are we talking about the same thing...? Oh come to think of it....the bushings were already in the links. |

A socket for what??
The shock bolts are already in place and snug. Do I need to pull them off again? |

Put the socket in between the bushing and the hammer.

Ahhh... okay. Got it.
That's why I use 2x4. I'll beat the hell out of my fingers using a socket. It's funny how much bigger fingers seem to get when I pick up a hammer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |

Grease. Vise. Make sure the openend is going "into" the drop link witout any kinks and press them in.
I used a rubber mallet once the bar was in the car. The rubber mallet against the back of the drop link and it pops right on there. Grease the cup (I use Mobil 1 synthetic). |

I heard horror stories about how bad these were. It's not really a bad job. They popped right in after getting them into hot water. Oh, and I welded the drop link back together. Seems to be just fine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Glad to know it's done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |
