[Spridgets] Replacement of Bushings on the 1/4 Elliptic leaf spring

[David Woerpel]

Marty,

Clean out the "eye' really well, wire brush or Dremel and then I coat 
everything with vaseline or a bit of oil (even been known to put the 
bushing in the freezer overnight...don't know if it really helped or 
not).  I have a large 6" jawed vise and a socket that I used to press 
the bushing in.  Worked very well.  DO NOT APPLY HEAT TO THE SPRING EYE.

Good luck,
Dave W.
