Inspection of a 904 torqueflite
You'd be surprised how far you can get just tapping gently. Ever wonder why staking is necessary? Cuz they can just walk right out of there. Like I said, just use a large steel plate. Get down low so you can see the bushing from the side. Tap it and watch to make sure the plate doesn't **** at all. The large radius of the plate is the key to seeing if the bushing is going in straight.
