Re: Working Man's Burbon

Bushing installation is the reverse process. Set up your tool so the tubing is on the side that is pulling the bushing. I forgot to mention that the installation spacer on the lipped end of the bushing will need to have a large washer over it also. (Photo 1). Once you have the tool organized and ready to go set it some where close and then reheat the trailing arm again. In the area around the bushing. Once again no need to make it glow red. Just hot enough to make your spit sizzle. That's in the 250 degree range. Then slide the bushing in and assembly the tool and tighten the nuts. Watch carefully that the bushing starts in straight. If not stop and remove it. You can always cool the bushing in water and reheat the arm. Once the lip side is seated all the way remove the tool and pop yourself a cool one because you deserve it and it makes waiting for things to cool off easier. After everything is cool to the touch reverse the process. Remove the spacer(s) by pushing the arm down. Clean up the bolt and nut and reinstall. Repeat on the other arm. Then sit back and savor that sweet Suburban goodness you just created.
