Called David at TRF, he
said the same thing, great minds think
alike.
I used the Dremel and
sliced it back as far as I could, then with the
chisel from the end I could
open it up enough for some WD40 to make its way in
and after that it was easy
going. Broke 1 cutoff wheel per bushing, but it
was worth it.
Thanks,
Bill

i
would start with a dremmell cutting wheel.
id start at the outside and cut
through the bushing for about 1/4" to
3/8" long.
if you catch the base metal
under them i don't think it will be the end of the
world.sand it smooth
later.
i would then try to "peal" it off .

Frozen
bushings
I have been 'heating-and-beating' on the lower
wishbone
bushings, the ones
on the frame, for the past two days. Even
gone so far as
to grind a notch
for better traction for the cold
chisel.
None of them will
so much a budge. Is it at all possible
that in the later
productions of the
TR3B that these were permanently
installed? I hope not
because they are
definitely smaller than the
replacements from TRF.
Not sure I
can get in
that close with a grinder to cut them off, and I would
be afraid
of buggering
up the permanently installed shaft itself.
Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill
