I need to remove and replace the poly bushings from my rear trailing arms. They are squeaking and popping and I can't stand it anymore.
The bushings are held in place with JB Weld. The arms are freshly powder coated and have new bearings in place so I don't want to use a torch to melt the JB Weld. Any suggestions on how to remove the bushings and clean up the inside diameter of the trailing arms without using a torch? Thanks in advance. Jack |

JB weld to hold bushings in place? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
cut off the end or drill them out with a hole saw then core out the remainder. the tolerances for bushing insertion is so small you almost need to take the trailing arms to a machine shop to make sure the mating surface is smooth enough for the new bushings to be pressed in |

The machine shop is certainly an option if I can't do this on my own. Thanks. |

Thanks. that's interesting; I've never heard of that. Just for my own information, do you have a link for the vendor's instructions? Does the vendor recommend a torch for removal? |
