    Used this method many times. Depending on the bushing size and how badly it's stuck, sometimes I just use a torch to burn out the old bushing then cut the sleeve and punch it out. Then use the threaded rod method as shown to press a new one in. Also I put bushings in a freezer over night to make it a little easier to press in.

      Great advice, I've used the freezer trick on plenty of things that are an interference fit. Everything from bearing races to valve guides in a mini cylinder head!

    Factory car jacks are great for harvesting the high tensile rods and parts for making this! Just need to cut it out and pretty much have everything you need. A bit of welding/fab/cobbling work of some scrap and you can really make a nice little tool for doing multiple bushes!

    Just used the same method yesterday on a clio fork to replace 2 bushings. Very satisfying to DIY . bushings were 9.92€ and the easy way out was buy a new fork 42€. Needless to say i went with the bushing method and learned something more how to do.

    Great video. You should use barrel nuts as they are longer and have more threads, so that they are less likely to strip the threads under heavy loads. Oil your thread helps, too. Your pipe looked like it was deforming, so be sure to use a thick wall pipe.

Getting them out was a breeze but putting them back in I snapped 2 bolts because i couldn't see if it was aligned properly unless i really pulled the hub rods etc apart til it hanged down to view it as i did but didnt really want to and to getting better advantage...then the head of the shaft pop out that comes out of the diff head...keep in mind ive never done this sort of stuff before so after getting in the last bushing i ripped the boot and the nightmare continues the frustration things in the way etc!...oh my goodness its all done now it took me a week yes so i know what its like when things dont go right...but youtube is great to have

    This method is great. I have been using it to remove bushings while the control arm is still attached on the other end because they are so maneuverable. Is this any danger in putting this much pressure on these materials though? I'm guessing/hoping no because the pressure isn't contant and only goes one direction but just wanted to make sure. Also could one use the new bushing to push out the old bushing and all at once seat the new one as well? I believe it will work but was wondering if this would damage the new bushing?

    • @LockyourHubs4WDing

      At 3" of lift the proportioning valve needs to go up 3" otherwise the braking will think there is reduced load on the back wheels, this is especially bad for non-abs cars.
      A simple extension bracket will fix this.
      Don't forget to check your diff brake line lengths so you're not hanging off the brake lines at full droop.

      It's the little things... before adopting the steering wheel technique, I spent a good hour stuffing around with ratchet straps. Now I kick myself for doing it any other way!

    would've just been simpler to use the bench press and the sockets

    • @LockyourHubs4WDing

      The point was not to use a press! 😁

      Thanks I'll check that tonight!
      You'll still need something on the other side as the centre of the bush protrudes out further than the edge by a few millimeters, a socket of the right diameter would do the job.

      You could! Even better yet a press, but that's not the point of this, it's to get it done with the minimum of tools.

    I doubt many would have a piece of tube that exact size laying around the back yard. Spend $200 and get yourself a press.

    • @LockyourHubs4WDing
      @LockyourHubs4WDing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The press is a better solution no doubt. My local suspension guy shut shop and I was having trouble getting into a local mechanics.
      I probably lucked out having a peice of pipe about the right diameter, though a deep socket would be able to do the same job. It's all about self sufficiency and not having to rely on others especially if you're remote. The only thing I needed to get was the high tensile allthread after snapping the hardware grade m12 allthread I had in the scrap pile.
