1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
The plan is to upgrade to pst`s polygraphite lower control arm bushings and greasable pivot shafts so the old stuff had to come out. The old lower control arm bushings were in very bad shape so Im really happy to be changing them.
Removing the outer bushing shell was kind of tricky. I welded some plate to one end, heated it all up and tried pressing it out. This didnt work the first time as the welds gave in. After that I welded on a circular 3mm plate with far more weld surface but when that plate started to buldge and crack (to my amazement) I gave up on that plan. What worked in the end was just hammering it out with a rod.
