WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! 200 1978

Hey Nickvjr
I did both front and rear. It is not to difficult when you figure out the system. I had to kill one control arm while figuring out the system. fortunately I have a doner car. The front control arm bushing was done kind of backwards. We put a socket the size of the bushing on a plate and alighned the bushing (in control arm) on top of it. We used an outer bearing race from something that fit just around the size of the bushing lip, and put it on top. Then we pretty much pressed the control arm off the bushing. The rear control arm bushing was a simple press the bushing out kind of thing. By the way, the crome plated sockets from your tool kit are just a little bit smaller than the high torqe ones used on air guns. This little difference was important when using the socket to push the bushing out.
I know this is kind of hard to follow and I wished now I had taken pictures. I hope it helps. Did you get your glove box painted yet? Good luck

Joe
