1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
The easy removal process, to get the inner LCA bushing sleeves off the pivot shafts.
Mill within a few thou of the shaft.
Use one of Dad's old wood lathe chisels to peel a slot.
Pull the bushing sleeve off the shaft with zero damage.
Promised myself I'd never fight with a '69 sway bar bushing install ever again, after proving to myself I could install poly's on my Bee restoration.
This time I cut the buggers open on one side of the welded strap.
Out with the old, then blast everything, paint everything, reinstall a new rubber bushing and then weld the strap back up and touch up the paint.
Blasting cabinet line up is growing.
K frame clean up in progress. Might end up at the media blaster yet..
Grinding off some of the welding splatter from the original assembly arc strike trails. "Hack and wack", there certainly wasn't any pride in workmanship. I've seen a 10 year old do better welds.
