[6pack] Trailing Arm Bushings

[Bob Danielson]

Todd,
That's the method Richard Good recommends in the directions that come with
his Nylatron bushing kit. I didn't have a piece of threaded rod that was
long enough to span both bushings so I modified it do one side at a time. No
Home Depot run required!

We had a tech session a while back & one guy (Greg
Donegan) brought a long piece of threaded rod with washers & nuts on each
end.  The threaded rod diameter must be just smaller than the inner diameter
of the bushing holes.  The rod must be long enough to span both bushings
plus a little extra of course.  Slide the rod through both bushings.  Put a
nut & small washer on one end(the end that you're drawing thru). 
On the other end have a larger washer & nut...one that will not fit thru a
bushing sleeve.  Tighten the nut & behold the magic...it will pull the other
bushing right thru.  No drilling, cutting, or burning.  Simply reverse the
process for the other bushing. 

I was just amazed seeing this after having fought with c-clamps & pieces of
PVC.

Cheers,

Todd
