Well , 2 hours outside today , and I got absolutely nothing accomplished <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> I took out my new bushings after I cleane dup all the rubber that was in the holse , and I discovered there is also a metal ring that goes around the rubber.So , I now have about 1/16 of an inch of a metal sleeve , stuck inside the holes.I tried pounding them out , using a socket thats the size of the sleeve , no go.I then tred to chisel them out , all I did was mangle one of them big time.They are siezed on there so bad , I have no idea how to get them out.They look like part of the cast part they are so rusted in there <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> My next thought is to get something to use to hone them out , just grind the metal down until its the right size to stick the new sleeves in there with the bushings.At the rate I'm going , gonna be another month just on the lower control arms <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Everytime I lose time like this it sets me back big time.Now the hunt begins to find something that can hone those 4 holes out , and hopefully quickly so I don't waste another large amount of time.I'm thinking they had a special tool that pulls these things out when its still all in one piece , the inside sleeve , bushing , and outside sleeve.Probably some kind of press , then press them back in.Of course I don't have the luxury of all these special tools , just a backyard mechanic. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
