Elliptic leaf spring
Marty,
Clean out the "eye' really well, wire brush or
Dremel and then I coat
everything with vaseline or a bit of oil (even been
known to put the
bushing in the freezer overnight...don't know if it really
helped or
not). I have a large 6" jawed vise and a socket that I used to
press
the bushing in. Worked very well. DO NOT APPLY HEAT TO THE SPRING
EYE.
Good luck,
Dave W.
