The I'm-Learning-As-I-Go 1965 Valiant Post
Modified my UCA bushing press design a little.
Threaded 2 nuts closer to the middle of the threaded rod, and counter tightened / loosened them against each other to lock them in place. This prevents the nuts from loosening up.
This time I reversed the wrenches. Adjustable on the "fixed" end (on the outside of the A arm), ratcheting wrench on the inside. I tighten on the end opposite the fixed side, this ensures I can just slide the rod out without further trouble.
This is my carpet bushing press. I'm leveraging my body weight against the wrench I'm using to tighten.
All in!
And I cleaned up the spindles... Woot!
