Gave up on my bushings for today. I need a better torch or something...what a royal pain in the ass.

 

What are you using? I used a propane torch yesterday on my subframe bushings. It worked pretty well.

 

Just use one of those cheap mapp gas / butane / propane torches from Home Depot, those should do the jorb.

 

It had mapp gas in it but whatever I did with the nozzle, it wouldn't go past 1/8" inch past the end of the torch. It's full of gas and I just think the nozzle hates me. I'm gonna hit it with a hammer and see if that helps/breaks it/makes me feel better.

 

Im going to start the bushing fun this week as well LOL a press would be cool but I dont think I will be able to get my hands on one...so it's the old time way of the ford tool LOL I do need to still get the tention rob bushing's though.

 

You can get a 12 ton shop press for 150$
Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

Thats what I have and it works just fine. Very handy tool to have around.

 

does the press ever give you problems? i cant seem to trust a tool for being so cheap..

 

Havent had an problems yet

 

Eh, if there's a hole in one its only $10 so its not that big of a deal.
