comanchedude Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Another option is to use these units, I did and they are holding up very well What I did was use a 1/4" drill bit ran that around between the rubber and the steel sleeve that effectively cuts the old rubber bushing out and then you drive these new units in and reassemble. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-Dan ...

CWLONGSHOT Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I have done them a number of ways. One really stuburn set needed to be beat with a chisle!!! Image Not Found Image Not Found Mostly, you just spray with a good penetrating oil and press them out with a ball joint press and some correctly sized adaptors. Image Not Found One set allowed me to hammer them out. RE-INSTALLING is simple...clean the bores they go in, grease bushing and tap to start then press in with "C" clamp or ball joint press. Once alligned they go right in. Press them in until the sholder is firmly up against the side of the bore. Image Not Found CW
87manche Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 sounds about right, if you've got a non disco axle with the stamped sheetmetal passenger UCA mount, be cautious to not bend it when pressing out the old bushing.
DansGreyMj Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 i wanted to know if this was in far enough or if it should go all the way to the end because the old one and the one on my mj stick out like this
CWLONGSHOT Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 It needs to be all the way to the shoulder. This is correct, but you look close. Maybe just a 1/4" more or so. There is a raised ridge where you stop. If not, yours may be a different MFG. I used MOOG parts, just seat it until its centered in the bore. If you look back at my pics of the removed bushings you can kinda get an idea. They DO NOT seat all the way flush. CW
DansGreyMj Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 i got it to go in a little more and yes there is a ridge on mine i just wanted to make sure how to install it properly because the one that was in and the one on my truck currently stick out a little
