Who did you talk to at SPL? Turner?

You can always drop the sub-frame for more clearance to swing a heavier BFH. :rolleyes:

You hate me enough now as is.

Yup. Chosen color schemes don't even look good.
Just saw a 1972, 240 white w/ red interior & red stripe along the rockers go for 40k :eek: it had a rotisserie restoration & was nice..... but the color scheme :confused: but people bid that Thing up to 40k

Lol... I dont hate you. My fault for not being more careful. I didnt get the guys name, but he sounded young. I spoke to my transmission guy, and he said just get the nut in, torque it, some jb weld and call it a day. I could drop the subframe, but if that thing wont budge with a sledge hammer, then I'll be going nuts...

A '72 went for 33k at Barrett Jackson over the weekend. I don't think it was a rotisserie resto.

That burr could be 3/4's of the length of the bushing. The farther it went. The bigger it got. Now it's acting like a wedge lock. On the bright side. You don't have to worry about the bushing moving.

I could get it to move. A 10 ton porta-power with a c clamp press. :tup:

I need me one of those. No reason whatsoever, but I want one.

You think the stud on the diff has enough sheer strength since it wouldnt be a snug fit to the bushing?

Smashed fingers are my best memories of using them. :shakes head: Had one that went up to 75,000 psi. Didn't have a flex hose on it. It had thick diameter stainless tubing. :eek:

Think you would be ok. By the looks of it. You're only about 1/8" away. What I would do. Install the diff. Just start the rear bushing nut a couple of threads on. If you go too tight. You won't be able to move the diff. Plus the diff will be too far to the rear to install the 2 front bolts. Install the front 2 bolts by hand, about half way. You will have to wiggle the diff around some to get the front 2 bolts starts. Once started, Do not use an impact on them until you are half way threaded. If you use an impact too soon. You can cross thread one one the bolts. :shakes head: Once the front are snuggled. Tighten up on the rear nut.

Apropos of nothing, anyone have experience removing a stuck compression tester adapter from a CRV?
