Once the end fitting is off, I then pried the bushing out.

I also removed the ball joints. Given the neat and tidy bending of the cotter pins, I bet these were original.

Next, I took the rear shocks and springs apart. Pretty easy with my trusty spring compressor. I originally bought these for working on 914 springs almost 30 years ago.

These springs have green color code.

I then got on to pressing out the rear wheel bearings and hubs. I know this Jenga set up looks sketchy.

This was going to be just a mock-up, but when I put just a small amount of pressure on the hub, it moved.

On one side, the bearing came out intact, but on this side one bearing race came out on the hub.

That led to one extra step on the press.

The bearing grease on that side was almost dry and hard.

The last step was pressing out the axle. I pressed one end in far enough to clear the bushing.

I then pushed the other end of the axle in past the bushing, and pried out that side.

And I found the traditional hieroglyphics on the trailing arms.

I am curious about the paint. One trailing arm has reasonably intact black paint, but this side is almost paint-free.

Thanks, Doug. Still in tear-down mode, but at least I can imagine how these pieces will go back together.

I forgot the last two rubber bushings, in the strut top mounts.

That took about 60 seconds with the press.
