WHere to get diff bushings pressed in?
WHere to get diff bushings pressed in?
Well, like hte title says.. is there a local Socal SHop that can push in these diff bushings for me? Every local shop is either scared or says they will ruin the bushings if they try? THey are poly bushings from wanklin.
PM me if you know any local shops in SO. CAL.
Thanks.

hmm maybe a wide jaw vise on the ground with pieces of wood on the jaws so that it doesnt damage the bushings or alum carrier housing. Never done it, but sounds like it would work in a pinch without having the need to carry the diff up in the air
I am in Tustin, and have a press. If you take off the diff brace (not too hard) then just come on by and I'll do it for a 6-pack of beer. I just did mine last week, and have converted my entire suspension to nylon, so I have some experience.

12-pack for 6 bushings on my hachi?
UPDATE:
Ok so 65Imp was kind enough to let me come over and help me with the bushings. He did an amazing job! They went in perfectly. This guy is an awsome dude and a great asset to this board. Thanks a million man, these bushings feel great.
Tips on installing Poly bushings:
They babies are very squishy, and they will pop out of alignment if you don't get them center. It seems trial and error work best, they don't take much force to push in, only a little patience. A little gease doesn't hurt either.
