Healeybob Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I am trying to remove and replace the front lower control arm bushing on my 63 Riv. I tried using a ball joint remover but no budge. Any trick to removing these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Does the shop manual show using piece of pipe, aka Kent-Moore tool # xxxx, to keep the force to remove and install the bushings from bending the arms? Even the single bushing of some arms can collapse the arm and needs a spacer to transfer the force. And yes, usually you need a hydraulic press of 10+ tons. No need for 50 tons, those usually just make scrap metal fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
