I pulled my rear top links (aka radius arms?), to replace the bushings which
were hard and brittle. To remove the bushings, I actually had to drill out
the rubber part, and then cleaned out the holes in the links, awaiting the
new bushings.
Bushings arrived, turns out they are actually steel cylinder core, then the
rubber, then another steel cylinder. Looking at the links again, the old
outer steel cylinders were tack welded to the links, and thus still in
place.
Now I'll have to remove these, and I'm wondering if the new bushings are
intended to be pressed into place, or are they supposed to fit easily, then
tack welded into place.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
