Would it be OK to use anti-seize lubricant when pressing in new bushings? This might make it easier for removal in the future.
Well I had a second set lying around as well and removed the control arms and bushings. Took me around 30 minutes including clean up. Here are a few pictures of the steps including the tool mentioned above. All the tools are from American Muscle.
I have new rubber bushings on order. What is the deal with the lower UCA pivot rod - how does it come out?
Man, early A body ball joints are high as hell. Where do they sell the rubber boots seperate?
Get one of these.
If you have one already, I can't imagine why you are having trouble.
12 ton H-Frame Industrial Heavy Duty Floor Shop Press
It will be one of the best 130 dollars you ever spent.
I got mine for 99 dollars but that was years ago.
The Chinese are getting more expensive.
Or maybe it's the Fed. money policy.
I use poly bushings. 100K and no trouble.
Other people don't like them, I know.
I know this is an old thread, but it contains great information.
Just bought one of the 12 ton harbor freight units. With the 20% off, it cost me $115. This Labor Day, HF has a 25% coupon they have been giving out in the stores. Good time to buy a press or something else that's needed.

I know there are limitations on what can be bought. This 25% is good on one purchase and only for the Labor Day weekend.Do you know if that coupon is for 25 percent off EVERYTHING?.
I can't imagine it is.
I've got a big ticket item to buy if it is.
But if I know Horror Fright, the coupon is only good for some things.
Thanks.
Air Hammer and Vise is all you need.I know this is an old thread, but it contains great information.
