I did this a couple of months ago. It took a couple of tries to get it. The diameter is sort of critical and I used a lathe. It was interesting that the spindle KP was more worn than the bushings. Lets see if the image show.

Dan said: (quoted from post at 12:14:52 02/20/08) I have to use a long pry bar (the kind that looks like a real long flathead screwdriver bent on the end with a handle designed fro striking with a hammer) and stick it through the spindle housing and work around the bottom bushing wacking it out. This takes between one to several hours depending on how tight and stuck the bushing is. Then, I slide the right size bushing driver through the end I removed the bushing from and use a long rod to pound out the other bushing. This is an all day job on two sides - your solutions looks like less than 30 minutes could have all four out!

I had a tool similar to Russ's that I started to make a while back but put on the back burner. It had a split collar two piece "puck" that slipped past the bushing on the way in and expanded to grab it when you cranked down on the screw. Sort of the inverse of the split collar pullers used for removing alternator/ PS pump pulleys. Maybe I'll make one up and give it a test. Perhaps I'm "sphincterly-challenged" but there's something about leaving the old ones inside that doesn't sit well with me. I too spent hours beating/sawing the old ones out.

I am the same as you. Zane has told me on several occasions to just pound the old ones to the center and leave them in place - I too cannot bring myself to do this. I am definately "challenged" as well.

If you put something together, let us know.

Long time ago I took down an axle to replace the spindle bushings. To my surprise there was an older set of bushings already floating around in there. Since that time I have never remove the old bushings. I just push them on inside and then install the new ones and ream to fit.

Nobody needs to know or worry about it. It can not interfer with the operation of the spindle.

Very nice idea! I always hate having to do this job as getting the old spindle bushings are such a chore. This would make it a snap.

Dan, thanks for the kind words. I have done the "tap one side then the other" on something short like a bearing race. But, it really helped to get a square push on these longish bushings.

Use a bushing cutter next time.Ive had a pair in my tool box for 55 years.I have one that fits an air hammer but still use the old ones most of the time.After they are cut you can collapse them and they will fall out.
