Listers,
I've decided that after 22 years the original trailing arm bushings on
my 76TR6 need to be replaced. Bentley's says to completely remove the
trailing arm and then "press out" the bushings. Three questions
1) when they say "press out" does that mean I should expect to gently
push the old ones out and simply slide the new ones in (hopefully so,
but probably not!) Or am I going to have to rig up a system with my
table vise to ram it out with all the force and pressure I can muster.
2) Is there any way possible to replace the bushings without removing
the entire trailing arm? I'd like to rig up something with floor jacks
to relieve rear spring tension on the arm and then with the other jack
gently lower the training arm away from the brackets.
Any advise from those that have been there, done that, and bought the
tee shirt would be appreciated.
bye for now
