Have fun getting the leaf spring bushings out. You may have to burn em out. Ive never had a set to slide out. |

Ive never had a set to slide out. getting the bolts out are hit or miss too. i recently did some shackles on a 80s rotted f150 and said no way are those bolts coming out. one came right out and the other with the zap of the impact, crazy |
ya im scared of those bushings but its needs to be done, i just bought myself a new air hammer the other day so hopefully it makes this job a lot easier.... 4500 beats per minute should make those bolts budge i hope :S and then i can finally brush the dust off my lift shackles and get those in! :)

I am about to do my bushings as well. I hope it goes well, I just did a forester and the rear control arm bushings fused to the bolt and it took 45 mins with the impact to get it out. ended up melting the bushing from friction. I would have torched it but my friend was worried about the torch on his car...
Just use some penetrating oil, drink a beer or two and come back and try it. |
