- David, I would not solder the bushings with the new pin in place as the heat may damage the pin. Use a good old one if you have one or buy three. :-) Ulix __/__,__ ___/__|__ .........................

- Well, everything is unbolted from Miss Molly's front suspension: coils, shocks, spindles/swivels/kingpins, and wishbones. Calipers are still attached to the front brake hoses, but they'll come out to

- I agree with Mike. You should not just replave the fulcrum. I tried this and it didn't work. I had play again after a year or two. I think you have 3 choices: 1) don't mess with fulcrum or kingpin.
