i'm planning on changing pads, rotors, shoes, amd brake hoses this
weekend. while i've got the front hubs off, i'm planning to replace the
worn a-arm bushings with v-8 bushings. is this simply a matter of
supporting the spring pans to compress the springs, removing the
worn bushings, and installing the new ones? i can't find a section on
the procedure either in the haynes or factory workshop manual. while
it seems a straightforward job, i'd appreciate any advice on problems
i may encounter... (BTW, its a 73 'b)
i have also found that the rear axle shaft needs a new seal. the
drivers side rear brake assy. is coated with grease, and the wheel
cylinders aren't leaking--its definately not brake fluid. how difficult
is the shaft to remove? will i be able to remove it and re-install it
by hand, or is a special tool needed? i'm planning on having a new
bearing presssed on as well. again, any advice is appreciated...
appreciated...
thanks,
