Anyone have a tool for removing the bushings from the Axle and UCA?
That I can borrow!

You need a pneumatic hammer?
Well, looks like just a good ol' pounding gets 'er done.
Now to go hammer on the axle end o' things
The best way I found, was to torch the rubber inner part out, then collapse the outer sleeve and knock it out...Just keep in mind, rubber on fire still bounces...
I did my upper on my axle last night in about 30 minutes. Use a drill, drill out the rubber, then with your punch and hammer smack it the rubber will fall out. Once the rubber is out go to the lip side with a big punch and a 3lb hammer, fold the shell in on itself, once you do that it falls out.
To install, use a ball joint press with the right adapters. Once you do that, bust out the welder and just put a little bead (bump of weld) on the shell to keep it from working back out.
Thanks I will try that. :thumbup:
