Replacing rear bushings
I've never replaced the bushings in a car before, how much of a B!T$% is it to change out the rear bushings in my FD? What am I in for? Do I have to disconnect brake lines, drop the whole thing, etc.

Which ones? There are almost 2 dozen if you include front and back.

If anybody is interested I went out and bought the sockets, bolts, nuts washers etc to do the max cooper method for the pillow balls a while back. Also have the snap ring pliers. PM me if interested.

Changing bushings is another level of PITA altogether. Shane510, what exactly are you installing? |
To replace the bushings you WILL need a press (~5 ton). You will also need to remove the control arms (upper, lower). Most people take the control arms and the new bushings to a machine shop (unless you have a press) and pay them to press out the old and press in the new.

The pillowballs are easy. The rubber bushings on the other hand are a total pain, with a different socket size and technique required for each type.
