Hey Gordon, did the Cpress tool come with cups to use on the end,that would give you clearance for the bushing, also I put that on like you did, put as much pressure on the forcing screw as you can with the impact, then give the knuckle a good firm hit with at large hammer, and watch out, because when that shit lets loose, it tends to come flying out of there, always worked this way for me.
@@57bagre Yes, lot's of brakes and those pins stuck as often as not. We had a pretty old and neglected fleet (cheap purchases). Did a lot of trailers and dollys, but usually left the trucks to the shops for liability purposes unless we were pressed for time. Truck repairs were how I found your channel, got tired of sending the trucks in for clutch adjustments so it was time to learn how to do it myself. Searched youtube and found your video on it very helpful.
Wire wheel where you apply heat to the brake spider , the heat will absorb quicker and the small sparks will go away . Use an emery flap wheel on a air die grinder to clean up the inside hole bore . Place a piece of a 1/4 inch plate
on the bushing and an air hammer and punch will smoothly drive the bushing in place . Silicone paste works well to lubricate the brake pins . Lisle tools make a bushing driver for this purpose .
Hi Gordon - yeah there are times when those bushings will be a damn pain in the ass to remove - funny you had used marine grease because I have been using that for many years for things that will disperse water in things that would not think of for instance what you had used it for - good video .
