Re: [TR] Frozen bushings

[Frank Fisher <yellowtr3@yahoo.com>]

i would start with a dremmell cutting wheel.
id start at the outside and cut
through the bushing for about 1/4" to 3/8" long.
if you catch the base metal
under them i don't think it will be the end of the world.sand it smooth later.
i would then try to "peal" it off .

Frozen bushings
  
I have been 'heating-and-beating' on the lower wishbone
bushings, the ones
on the frame, for the past two days.  Even gone so far as
to grind a notch
for better traction for the cold chisel.

None of them will
so much a budge.  Is it at all possible that in the later
productions of the
TR3B that these were permanently installed?  I hope not
because they are
definitely smaller than the replacements from TRF.

Not sure I can get in that
close with a grinder to cut them off, and I would
be afraid of buggering up
the permanently installed shaft itself.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill
