I had the best Saturday morning. Planned on doing the Torque Rod Bushings after doing some Wiring upgardes on my Motorcycle. Resigned my Saturday on doing two Frustrating jobs.
The motorcycle: Yup, A simple sounding task took of upgrading wire gage to my Stater took 2 hours.
onto the Torque rods.
Guys If you don't have a strong Impact Hammer...get one!
No hogging out the rubber to get a Hacksaw blade in there.
No finding the correct size Socket or Pipe to beat them out with.
No melting of rubber and cutting the metal sleeve with acetaline torches.
2 minutes each with the Air Hammer and they were out.
Also, I asked about Freezing the Poly Bushings last week.
I had them in the freezer for two days. Greased the inside diameter of the Torque rod with Bearing grease, Took the new bushings out of the Freezer and pushed them in with the palm of my hand. Greased up the Center sleeve and pushed that through with my thumbs. THE BEST!!!
Honest!!! two rods, 4 sides replaced and re installed in the car 45 minutes. I was washing may hands and relaxing by 11:00am. I had the whole day set on doing both the Bike and Brick.
