The Coopers I got at the local distributors. Talked to two Australians at different times about Australian beers and they both told me to get Coopers. I did and it was damn good(expensive when on a fixed income, but worth it) They only had one case and haven't tried to get it since. I'm due to treat myself.

 

Hmmm wasn't there some stuff about lca bushings replacement pages and pages back? I think I'm gonna give mine a go this week or weekend but am wondering how to get the old ones out and new ones in.

 

Save yourself the hassle & buy new LCA's. Swapping out siezed bushings is a huge PITA in my opinion. Much more cost effective to just get new ones.

 

I've done this before on a different vehicle....I made a die for my log splitter to get them out(yes it's that hard) but if you have some ingenuity....it's not so bad

 

Now you tell me. Haha. Too late. I got all the shit to do it already.

 

Getting the old ones out eats a dick. I had my father in law press the new ones in for me.

 

About the best way to get the old bushings out is to burn them and knock them out

I can`t think of his name but he builds the Long travel arms that is how he gets them out on his core control arms

 

Is there a video of that? Thats a great way to get more use out of a log splitter.

 

Agreed, Other wise find someone who is very skilled with a blow torch and a bushing press of some kind "gas powered log splitter", BFH and air hammer.

 

Morning PA'ers.

 

I c

i am thinking I saw a thing where somebody used some allthread and some washers and made a poor mans press. My buddy had a ball joint/ujoint press and a 20ton press.

 

Buy new LCAs. Words cannot describe the amount of suck and fail involved in swapping those bushings, then trying toake the front end right again.

Keep the current ones and spare parts as insurance against breaking the new ones.

To bad your so far away I have all the tools

50Ton Press all kinds of pullers etc

torch / Air hammer

I have tried all the different ways they pretty much all suck.

The best way is to Carbonize the bushing not sure if your bushings need the sleeves or if that was from my mid-eighties trucks

Buy new save the old ones for a rainy day project most likely they will get tossed next major shop cleaning

Living in the Commonwealth it will be even more of a challenge then the dry lack of winter as we know it states

 

Lol...no video...it was years ago on the rear lower arms of a Subaru Outback ...I dicked around for awhile...then looked over at the 30 ton wood splitter. I do all my bushings that way now have to be careful when doing it, but since then I have rebuilt hydrolic rams for farm equipment that way also. I just made a piece of metal that makes my cutter flat. Then use sockets and pipe to press things in or out.
