#28169, "Rear Upper Knuckle Bushing? Pics"


          



The pics were taken from the driver side rear tire area. Would the arrow be pointing to the rear upper knuckle bushing? If it is would i need a press to install a replacement bushing? Thanks

Yeah and its a pain in the ass.

The easiest solution to remove them is to pull the whole knuckle off, burn out the rubber with a torch, and take a hacksaw/sawzall to the inner metal band about 4 times and it'll come out.

To put them back in, you absolutely need a press. I put in prothanes because putting in stock replacements looked even harder. RRE let me use their shop for free, so its worth asking if you dont have a press.

I didn's have a press, I used a bench vice... not too hard, but not that easy at the same time.
