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 |

Thanks for the input, guys.
It's funny how these things go sometimes. I spent more time thinking about this project than it took to do it. It's 105 here today and I wasn't planning on spending time in the garage. After reading the feedback on my question I decided to go out and see what I could do. My garage is insulated so it was a comfortable 95 out there with the doors closed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In 3 hours I was able to pull the rear suspension AND knock the bushings out of the trailing arms on my bench. I'll feather out the JB Weld in prep for the new setup. I can't wait to get it back on the road w/o the cracking and popping. Thanks all! |
