[T3] Bushing Pressing

[Charlie <clncrew@erols.com>]

Hello All,

Just a little hint.  Maybe everyone else has figured this out, and I'm
proving myself the Muir Idiot I am.

Had to replace the bushing that the steering dampner attaches to the
pitman arm with.  It was so trashed, that the old one came out easily. 
Getting the new one in was a *%$#@*&.  But, figured out an easy way.  I
used a long bolt with large washer on one end and put it through the
hole the bushing was to be pressed into.  Then put the bushing on the
bolt, another large washer, and finally the nut.  Tightened down the
nut, pushing on the washer, pushing the bushing right into the hole.

I hope I made it clear.  Struggled for about an hour and a half trying
to push the darn thing in other ways.  When I finally figured this
method out, it took 5 minutes.

Hope this is helpful.

Charlie
