Default May be we need a how to fit?

Hi Guys

In the last several posts some interesting things have come up. Maybe we need a discussion of how to install and fit the bushings and pins.

For example you need to have a pin in the bushing as it is pressed into the spring eye to reduce chance of distorting the bushing if the spring eye is not round.

Or pressing the bushing in instead of driving it in.

Or leaving the old bushing in place and putting a long snug fitting rod through the old bushing and the new bushing and using the new bushing to push the old bushing out as the new is installed.

Buying bushings that to long and cutting them off to fit after they are installed.

Just some thoughts.

Cheers Phil
