Hey Captain Ricky, Thanks for the video helped out tremendously!! Only thing is,,,,,had to watch couple times my attention kept getting drawled to your mirror behind you... hahaha that's great! Thanks
Got to do this on a 2010 Mercury Milan. Repair shop told me he'd have to take the bottom of the transmission apart to replace ''The Bushing'', which is the same bushing my stepson was too lazy to remove when he replaced the leaking outer seal on the left side, which is what's known for going bad & leaking.... Thanks for the video. I looked and wondered if I can take one of the small bearing pullers & grind it down so it'll fit that size bushing.... At any rate, I just lost all faith in that repair shop. Trying to get $1,560 for a job that should probably be a $400 job at the most, if the cv shaft is still good, which this one still is. Just needs the bushing & the seal kit..
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Sergio Benton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I used a large socket just a little larger than the bushing to drive it in flush. I took the old bushing and ground the outside down some and used that to recess the new bushing to the right depth in the housing.
This job was a b*tch. HF had a bearing puller that was slightly too small - so I used the washer idea from this video with the slide hammer (definitely double them up). After 2 days of using that setup and getting nowhere, I searched for the proper tool - found it from advance for like $275, but with their loan a tool program, can return it no issues. It was still a bear to get out, and that setup was just barely big enough. But now it's out - and I just have to put it back together. If I had a socket large enough for this method, I probably would have tried it like the video before going through advance. Thankfully even though they don't carry the tool in store, it came to my door less than 24 hours later.
