Having difficulties using a DeWalt sawzall with a five-inch metal blade on the rear bushing. Have the rubber and center piece out. But I'm being too cautious with my sawzalling as I don't want to slice into the subframe cutting out the shell.
I would really prefer not to have to drop the subframe. I bought a tranny jack (the type that's not Falcon's preferred style of intimate contact) from Harbor Stank so I can drop it I have to. But I'd really rather not. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

It's blind faith. Make 3 cuts in the outer shell. One bottom dead center, the other 2 in the 4 o:clock and 8 o:clock positions. Once you think you're cut almost all the way through. Take a muffler inside cutting tool and beat the outer shell out. Position the tool at the cuts you made.
Pic of tool. It's for an air chisel, but will work with a hammer. |
It's best to work from the front of the hole for removing and installing.

All jokes aside. Would it be less blind faith if I dropped the subframe? Bc I like operating on el blind-o faith-o even less than I like dropping the subframe.

I watched the shop where my car's at do a G37 today. Pretty much did the same cuts and then he used a big chisel to beat the outer shell out. He had the damn thing out in about fifteen minutes. Of course he had the car on a four post lift though. |

I'm guessing the tool from Z1 is out of the question? It looks expensive for something you can probably Jerry rig yourself, but you can always sell it to someone else on the forum when someone else's inevitable blows out. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk |

Once you have that outer shell out. You need to remove any burrs and high spots in the hole. Use a round file to knock them down and then use a 60 grit flapper wheel to clean the hole up. You can use the flapper wheel with a cordless drill. But a 1/4" air die grinder works best. |

All you have to do is find the person that has it. |

Hey Knuckle Dragger. Which bushings you installing. Poly or the SPL's? If the SPL's, put the big bushing in the freezer overnight. If the poly's. Be careful when installing. They like to squeeze out of the sides just in front of the hole. Anti-seize the chit out of the hole for either bushing before installing.

Also Betty, I wouldn't worry too much about a cut into the subframe. You should feel a sort of pop through the sawzall blade when you cut through the bushing shell. At worst, you'll mildly score the surface of the subframe. |
Good morning folks!:hello:Supposed to hit 41* here today.Gonna feel like summer compared to Monday.:ugh2:
