I love that you show how dirty the job is and real world situations in everything you do. Thank you for the great videos as usually. Your helping a lot of people. Ahmad
Great video. And this is why I’ll just drop a grand on new control arms that already include installed bushings instead of screwing with any of this. 🤙
as someone who hasnt even touched an old truck before i got my 72 c30 this channel and website is like the holy grail for information and parts. so thankful that you guys go through the time and effort to do this
Razor blade the “cap” off and use a #21 drill bit on the outer part of the rubber and just let the bit run all the way around between the rubber and the metal shell. 5-10 minutes per bushing with no smoke or mess.
Rather than pry out the old rubber can you just melt the rubber out with a torch? That's what I did when I replaced the bushings on my race car and made quick work of it
Absolutely, you can do that, we've done it a few times. It works great for cleaning out the extra rubber left in the shell after the main rubber has been removed too!
Great information, those polyurethane bushings really do make a huge difference in handling. What fun is there taking it to a shop? We’re truck and car guys!! Just dig in and do the work, you’ll save mon! And Dave is here to show you how!
Do you have to remove the shell if you are going with urethane? The kit I got is urethane but came with new shells , don't really want to take them out and install new shells
Not certain where you got that kit, but our kit requires you reuse the same shell. You don't need to remove them from the a-arm, you just gut them like in this video.
