Differential Bush removal options

ZPWR · 11-01-2020, 04:07 AM

Thanks! Didn't expect all that info overload! Appreciate it. I have the whiteline diff bush set. Guess I have some tool shopping to do heh.

Also could I just get away with having the bush flush on the rear side? The DIY pics seems to have it that way and it works fine for them. Also you mentioned anti-seize. What product would you recommend? I'm from Australia so brand name might be different. It wouldn't happen to be WD-40? Actually the whiteline set comes with a lubricant satchet. Not sure if that's what you mean.

This is the most outer bushing you’ll be cutting to get out; it’s like the oem glues it in place.

Here’s pic of the anti-seize too

Haha cool appreciate the pics. Atleast I have an idea what to get now. Should hopefully make this mod easier to do.

One more pic of the hole in subframe, after bushing is out.
As as Rusty has given you professional instructions on removal & installation...it will come out in multiple pieces

Finally got that dang stubborn old diff bush out. But I made a mistake though. I sort of cut past the outer shell a little bit. I hope this isn't too bad of a mess up?

I didn't realize how stubborn that outer shell was. I thought after you cut the metal it would just naturally break apart and come out. But after I hammered it out a few times it started to lift and come out.

Sorry about the pic. My phone won't focus properly. It's the scratches at the top mid left.

You HAVE to smooth all of that out with a flapper wheel. It's got to be baby butt smooth. Otherwise, suicide will be on your mind.
