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 |

In hindsight, I probably would have been better off leaving the old bushings in place.
I'm going to be installing the Elephant PolyBronze as soon as they arrive. I have the Elephant Rubber bushings up front. |

I have the Elephant Rubber bushings up front. So how did you get them out? Poly Bronze is a fine bushing, if installed correctly you will have a minimal friction bearing. Just make sure you have something under the arm when you install or remove the arm. Broke a grease zerk when I let one rotate down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) That made a simple task much longer. Worst thing is I have done it several times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
