HELP
« on: May 30, 2012, 03:05:06 PM »
I'm trying to install new front shocks and can't get the bushings in the lower portion. Do they have to be pressed in?

I tried wd40 and a rumble mallet. Then tried pressing it in with a bolt, but and a couple big washers but nothing.

Any suggestions?

Use a bench vise and a socket. Apply small amount of lube to bushing. Takes under 5 minutes to do.
