Photo DIY- Rear LCA "Inner" Bushing R/R *ON VEHICLE*

Per my previous posts, I have done MOST of the Rear-End Suspension.

Therefore, I opted to just Finish the Rear-end, and call it a day.

The "INNER" Metal-Clad Bushing of the Lower Control Arm is VERY Tightly Afixed, so you will require a good-quality Press/Pulling Set-Up, whether it be Home-Brewed, or Commercially available.

I am not going to go into the particulars of the actual set-up I used, as it is a Mixture of different sets.

Please Note!!! The Factory Procedure specifies, Complete REMOVAL of the LCA, and R/R the Metal Clad Bush using a Hydraulic Press.

For that procedure, please refer to my next post, which shows the "OFF VEHICLE" rendition of the bush R/R.

Since this is NOT a Specified WIS procedure, it is being posted Solely for "Entertainment Value Only" and not as a procedure guide.
