A Arm Bushings
I'm rebuilding an '84 front end. The A Arm bushings are looking cracked and they're wobbly. How does a guy go about removing the old bushings and installing the new ones?

Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.

Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said. |

Take them to a shop with a press. The time you will save cussing is worth every penny you will spend.

try putting the POLY bushings and you have to have the old ones burned out because you have to use the shells. its still a pain. i have replaced stock ones by hand before and BELIEVE ME, it is a pain in the @$$. If you can have shop press them in/out, do it if they charge you it is well worth the money
