PFADT Bushing Install Update
OK, OK, OK, I DID spell PFADT correctly.
Over the weekend I removed the RF control arms, removed the old bushings. upper arms was a cinch - just locked down a tab in a vise and twisted. About 4 turns and it's out. The lower took some more effort - sawsall, propane torch(inside steel sleeve for about 3 minutes), make rubber burn, twist out with channel locks.
Clean up barrels with 0000 steel wool. Lightly lube barrel entry points and new bushing, and press in with vise(sounds sexual doesn't it!) No problem. One down 3 to go.
