Re: 1985 Short Bed

Installing the bushing in the rear springs wasn't that hard, but I did find out that there are two different sizes listed. I hit a lucky lick and came up 50/50, two right and two wrong so I had to send the two back that were to large and reorder the two correct ones. To install the bushing all I used was a little wheel bearing grease to grease up the bushing and the spring housing, a hammer and socket to start the bushing, and a 4 inch bench vice to press it in as far as the vice would allow. After that I used the hammer and socket to tap them in the rest of the way. After installing all the bushing the next step is the final clean up and paint.
