Here's one for the list...
Has anyone ever replaced the lower (outer) front
control arm bushings on a TR4? These baby's are stuck
(press fit for 40+ years) and they are very slim (not
much to press out)...
I'm thinking of a drill press right about now.
Any other thoughts? If I had a hydraulic press with a
perfectly fitting drive pin I might be able to budge
the things but with conventional tools I am
struggling.
One other question is related to the metal sleeve that
rides inside the nylon (inner - lower) control arm
bushing. The old sleeve has fused itself to the pivot
shaft so well that I think even a nuke might not get
it off and in the process the entire shaft would
probably come with it. At this point I am thinking it
will be fine to leave the old sleeves (worn) in place
with the new nylon bushings over the top (pig in a
blanket)! Thoughts?
Any suggestions very welcome at this point.
