Been working up refreshing the front end on my 68 144. I have all the new ball joints and control arm bushings pressed in. I used a ball joint press with good success.

Having problem with the second upper bushing after I inserted the wish bone shaft. I can't use the press on that one. I cleaned up the new bushing real good and the hole. I used a socket and tapped the bushing in so far and it will not go any further. Spent an hour on one side and gave up till I regroup with another plan. Going to try and tap the bushing back out and inspect things again. I done want to clean it up to much for fear of making the bushing loose.

Is there a special tool that could be used to ease this process or a different approach?
