    I put the ECGS bushing in the freezer while I disassembled. It went in a lot easier that way.

    this ^



    I had to remove the uca's because the bj press wasn't working well. with them removed from the truck I was able to remove the c clip more easily too (need a big pair, broke the tip off my normal size pair)

    then I used the misalignment spacer thats normally on the top, and set the uca on a 6x6 and hit the spacer real hard with a 3lb sledge. took a few tries but got it out. then freeze the new ones over night and grease them up real good. to reinstall i used the same trick to drive it in from the bottom. I actually had to use my dremel with drum sander attachment to hone out the cup of the UCA. took the powder coat off and maybe a little bit of metal and it helped the new uniballs seat a lot easier.

    still no where near as simple as this-

    Yep.
    Saw your pics in the homer build...

    Sweet jebus, you took a nice chunk out of the front! I only had to take about .5" at the bottom angled up to about 2.5".

    Although, your lines look better :cool: nice work

    thanks for the tips guys :thumbsup:

    looks like a piece of cake from the video though... now if i could only find a new set of UCAs to swap out the uniballs on :rolleyes:

    let's see them do that on some grimy uniballs that most people are replacing :cool:

    yea the tire slicing is a bummer, but at least I only had one of my new tires on for fitting/trimming. so they got one new tire and one old tire, and 2 of my roommates tires.

    I plugged the new one even though its the sidewall. figure i'll keep it as an extra spare.




    in better news, my coil overs will be here tomorrow so i should be able to get the truck back on 4 wheels and drivable tomorrow night. planning on getting the tires mounted friday. and my light bar project is getting closer to being done..

    [​IMG]

    and I have the trac performance light bar mounts painted and ready to go. just waiting for the light bar. 50" radius double row led from Memario- Vivid illumination and performance. (awesome customer service btw)
