    Just a update. I installed the ECGS bushing at 25,000 and now have 135,000 miles on the ECGS bushing with no issues.

    Anyone in the Southern California area, I have both the bushing & tool for sale, $70 pickup only in Huntington Beach or Mission Viejo. Installed an ARB this weekend so I don't need this. PM me.

    Anyone have any advice on getting the bushing in? I just can't get it seated properly. Keeps going off center. I tried reseating the old bearing just to see how it would go and it went in no problem.

    Freeze it overnight to shrink it just a bit. Also helps to have bearing driver, from harbor freight or ecgs.

    That was the hardest part for me too. Eventually it went in, I think. Still not 100%confident it's perfectly flush. I used a bearing and race driver and lots of oil.

    Brilliant! Went in first try this morning. It was still a bitch seating it all the way even with a bearing driver but patience and pounding got her done. Thanks for the replies.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    I have an ECGS tool and seal driver to pass on to a new home.

    I acquired it a while back and I am finally done with it. The previous owner was kind enough to pass it along to me free of charge, and I would love to do the same thing as well.

    I would be happy to pass it along to the first person interested in it. Simply cover the shipping cost via Paypal and it is yours.

    Please do not PM me about it. The first person to respond to this post in this thread stating that they are interested in it can have the tool.

    I will contact you via PM when I get the chance for shipping/PayPal info.

    Thanks
