front suspension arm bushings - how hard 900 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be gen940 on  Fri May 1 11:52 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Hello gang

thinking of doing the three front bushings on my 94 940 (189,000 miles). I've done the conical ones before but want to tackle the other two.

Will a vise and a proper diameter piece of pipe or sturdy copper pipe be enough to push these bushings out. Is the fit a very tight press fit? If I do get the old ones out will pushing in the new ones be more of a struggle?

Might I be asking for trouble? I could afford to get them done by a shop but have the bushings already and thought to do them anyway.

I've got only a HD vise to work with, and the appropriate steel spacers and diameter pipe.

Thank you all in advance

gen940, 1990 240 previously, and now 1994 940 (wonderful cars!)
