[TR] Wishbone bushes

Good luck with that.  In the past I've resorted to using a grinder to grind a flat spot so I can get a Crescent wrench on it and turn it back and forth to break up the rust bond.  I've also resorted to grinding it to the point of breaking through the other side so that it was open up a bit and come loose.  That usually results in a small flat spot on the pin on the frame but a new bush will cover that up.

REASSEMBLE WITH ANTISIEZE!!!

Hey gang ~


I am trying to rebuild my TR3 front suspension and find that, on the passenger side, 
the old. steel, inner wishbone bushes (Moss P/N 661-570) don't want to come off. 
This is item #118 on this Moss page:
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29136



These are the bushes that go over each end of the lower fulcrum pin (along with 
other parts) so that thew wishbones can be mounted. The driver's side bushes 
were no problem to get off but the passenger side seems to need quite a bit of 
"persuasion." 


Anyone had this issue? Suggestions?


Thanks, as always!
