Finished my Xmas lights and finally got back to the car. After getting the
inner mounting bracket loose, I got the outer to drop clear with some gentle
hammering. Semi bad news is the current bushings look fine and won't budge.
Called around to parts stores to see if they have a press - no luck. I'm
going to send an email to the local club members otherwise I'll start
drilling through the rubber (any easier way?). I did get the new slip boot
on as well.
Gotta run and help my brother in law for about an hour to finish his Xmas
lights so he doesn't get in trouble when the wives get home late tonight.
