I had cause to take the RF suspension apart and figured I should replace the bushings in the lower arms. The inner nylon ones are quite deformed and the inner steel ones (inside the nylon) are virtua

Personally, I would replace them. If the mounting pin is too rotten to use, I'd much rather know that now, than find it out while taking a curve on the interstate, or worse yet, braking hard in traf

I like the Dremel cut-off wheels that have a fabric-like construction. They won't shatter if you put a side load on them, like the others do. John == This list supported in part by The Vintage Trium

I'll second the dremel/grinder approach. Get a piece of foam to sit on as you will be there a while!!! I used a grinder and measured often with a pair of calipers to make sure I did not go through th

I think it's fibreglass that's used in those, yes they're well worth the price. I've had good luck with the dremel method in the past so that's what I'll do this time as well. You just can't get eno

I usually attack this problem with an angle grinder. I grind the steel spacer along an axial line until the inner post just barely shows. At this point I can get some penetrating oil into the space b

Either way, it's a good idea to wear eye protection IMO. Even if the wheel doesn't break, it's still throwing tiny bits of metal at you at high speed. And it's no fun at all going to the eye doctor

Switch to the yellow bottles which hold MAPP gas. It will heat to a higher temperature. Available at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, probably most auto parts stores, etc. I just bought two and I think they we

MAPP gas definitely puts out more heat, although it may not work well with torches designed only for propane. However, I'd suggest caution on suspension components, as it will easily heat them hot e

Nope. I use the same head for both propane and MAPP gas. It is a model by Bernzomatic, the Bernzomatic Sure Fire Torch Head. According to the description it is "Self-igniting, Instant on/off switch.
