Okay... I spent the weekend disassembly the rear suspension.
Oh yeah, my suspension was all off the car. F-ING CASTELATED NUTS!!!!! It took quite a few sessions with a propane torch and a high-torque impact wrench on max setting to remove each one. It's real fun removing this nut without the car mounted to anything. The hub and axle just rotate away!!! I ended up placing the hub (still mounted on the trailing arm with the axle attached into a vise on my bench). I tried removing it with a socket extension and 24" breaker bar. No such luck. The heat and impact wrench worked after many repeated attempts. My teeth are sore from clamping down. Okay.. so now I just have to remove the hub and bearings. No problem. What about the bushings? I plan on installing Muellers needle bearings in the rear, but I have no idea how to get the old stuff out. Any advice? |

burned mine out in less than 20 min each. get them really hot and take a screwdriver to it. work at puncturing straight through in one spot and then the rest is easy.
