Front end rebuild 1972 Duster
There are a few ways to remove that shell. Some will smash and chisel the end and pry on it until it pops out.
If you have one of THESE though…
Just clean the edge of the bearing shell.
Weld a washer to the edge.
Now you have a surface to press against from the back side to drive it out.
Next, the pocket is cleaned up a bit.
Just press the bushing in.
The last step is the shaft.
I’ll show you how to screw up the bushing by doing this wrong. I know because I just did it the wrong way and have to replace the bushing.
More to come.
