@Sr20

Let me know when this needs to ship to you.

I am still waiting for the body shop to finish my car. I will ship it to you on time no matter what happens on my end.

Thanks SG! If you can ship it out by March 3rd that should give it enough time to reach Houston by March 9th. If no on is really pressed for time I will mail it back to you.

Give you guys another tip. When removing the inner guts from the bushing. Use a 2" hole saw first. It will cut about 3/4 the way through. Makes removing the inner guts easier when trying to pull it out.

Acme thread is the name i was looking for. A 3' stick will make 4 replacements for $15+ shipping.

It's $10.10 for a 36" section under Acme Lead Screws and Nuts (53K psi tensile strength).

So, I paid freight from CJ to me, then I paid freight again to ship it to Sr20dehauler on 3/6 while my 370 was in the body shop.

Now my car is out of the body shop, and the rear diff is ready for install now on 3/18.

No response from Sr20dehauler since 3/10 appears he has gone off the reservation?

He mentioned that his mechanic advised against using the tool...

That’s cause his mechanic is a tool....sorry had to

Sr20dehauler · 03-19-2018, 03:24 PM

Sorry about the mishap. I went out of town for a week right after I received the tool so I didn't have time to ship it back. It is currently on it's way back to SG4247.

He said that the tool doesn't work very well to remove the outer collar for the models with steel subframes. The shop specializes in Zs and he's performed this job dozens of times so I assume he knows what he's talking about. *shurg*

SG4247 · 03-18-2018, 06:09 PM

Lol!

Sr20dehauler just PMd me said he would send it back.

Glad he is back!

Did this yesterday with a 400mm 1/2” breaker bar. Must be a hectic interference fit. Lots of fun on your back. But then again most fairladys are...

For one thing. The hole in the frame is not perfectly round. Where the welds come together is the problem area.

The hole is definitely not round.

I ended up taking the puller plate part of the bushing tool to the machine shop and turning .015" off of the O.D. Just a light clean up.

The thing would get 1/2" or so into the sub frame and stop. It would jam every time no matter what I did for alignment.

After machining, it went through the frame, and pulled the bushing out like butter!

If no one else is in line, I sure could use this! Have the bushings ready in my garage.
