Looks like I'll be postponing the Rusty visit another week. Won't be able to make it until first weekend of May. Just got stuck working that Saturday...

I'm calling it a night and regroup and finish saturday.

I can remove the bushings in about 20 minutes.

To install the bushing. I use 1/2" all thread, about 10" long. Double nut the one end. 3 thick 1/2" washers on both ends. 2 pieces of 3/8" thick 4"x4" plate with a 1/2" hole in the center.

Put 3 washers on the double nut end of all thread, then 1 of the 4x4 squares. Put that though the hole and the bushing, from the rear. In the front. Now install the other 4x4 piece, then the 3 washers, and then the nut.

It should look like this. 1 nut, 3 washers, 4x4 plate, bushing, frame, 4x4 plate, 3 washers, double nut.

Put your wrench on the double nut, and another wrench on the front nut and start to tighten down. The wrench in the rear. You can leave it rest on the body when tightening. You don't have to hold it. The front nut. You may have to do what is called double wrenching. That's where you take one wrench and place the box end into the open end of the wrench the is on the nut. What you are doing is making the wrench longer for more torque.

OK. Gives me more time to get mine done.

Oh..................for steak. I want that $40.00 an oz steak from Japan.

Wifey said she would like 10 oz, and I'll take 12 oz.

Appears to be a single longish crack and only in the resin. I expect it will be a relatively easy repair unless the fibers are damaged also.

My half asleep eyes just read you were in the hood picking up crack.

I could possibly order a small cut of a4 wagyu when the date gets closer. I ordered this cut of a5 before. The marbling was just shy of a5 quality and still had that melt in your mouth texture.
