Replacing all the rear control arm bushings in my 71 Skylark, 350 10 bolt posi. Made pretty good progress until I am to the point of installing the driver's side, upper control arm bushing- in the differential. None of the loan a tool programs I have checked on have the correct "receiver" . Any of you Buick lovers who have done this know what I mean.....The pumpkin is off center, and any "receiver sleeve" that I can find in the press kits are all too thick. I have the bushing pressed in place but it still needs to go about 1/4 further. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I'll probably never use it again. I'm going to check with my engine builder tomorrow......I hope he has one.
I have that tool. If worse comes to worse, I will ship it to you as a loaner and you can ship it back when you are done.
Thanks Guys! Especially to The Wizard! That is one trusting Buick Lover! I would have taken you up on the offer but my builder made a jig, or, rig. What ever you wanna call it. He cut about an inch out of an old bearing race and supplied a piece of 1/4 plate- That, along with the C-clamp from the O'Reilly's ball joint press, drove the bushing home. Thanks Again.
