Upper A-Arm Bushings that is
I got the A-Arm off, got the old bushings out.
those suckers are not going in!
I was hoping to use my vice, but thats not working, not enough pressure, and yes the ears are supported
Any ideas?

A few hours in the freezer will shrink them slightly.

Long, long ago I used to put them in with a big a$$ hammer and a socket that fit over the rubber but rested on the metal surround. Support the arm on your vise if its on a big table and bolted down well. Alternatively, you can use a press...

I am busy as usual. But if you are in desperate need of a press, i might be able to meet you in clearwater at our shop. Will be around home, but trying to fit some things in this weekend.

I used sockets, large washers, nuts and threaded rod (IIRC 1/2"). I used lots of moly grease on the threaded rod. I cut up steel pipe couplings to use as reinforcements for the ears. Worm hose clamps were used to keep the ear reinforcements in place during the push. Fresh nuts were used for each bushing push.

I used threaded rod with some big washers and nuts on each end? Sometimes, if they are really tight, put as much tension in the rod as you can and then wait. The stress can relieve itself over time then the nuts can be re-tightened. This takes awhile but might work. This technique works well when inserting tight fitting rubber grommets due to the creepy nature of rubber.

Keith,
If you do not have access to an H press you might bring the arms and bushings to any mechanical shop and throw some beer money at them to press them in ( I assume you are talking about the bushings with steel outer sleeve) I cut part of a front wheel bearing race to support the ears while pushing mine in. A press makes it much mo easia.

Keith,
See Maintenance Manual X-7525 / Section - 3 Front Suspension and Final Drive / Page 3A -16 / Figure 20-Installing Upper Control Arm
Bushing
As you can see it takes a few special tools which more than likely you don't have, however, here's a set of drawings that you can
make the tools to R&R upper and lower bushings:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g6282-front-control-arm-bushing-tools.html
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO DEFORM THE PARALLEL SURFACES THAT THE BUSHING PRESSES INTO. If you do that the bushings won't be
retained properly and the steel bushing shell will wind up rotating in the arm and the arm / steel shell will wear quickly and
you'll wind up with play in the upper control arms. I know this because a PO screwed up my driver side upper control arm. Chuck Boyd
found it the first time I visited him in Knoxville. In Figure 4 you will see Spacer J-21474-4 that is what keeps the arms parallel.
Regards,
Rob M.

Keith,
Using a vice will work if you have patience. If you have crumpled any
part of the bushing, it will never install and you'll have to get another
one. Once you apply pressure, take a brass hammer and start rapping on the
arm around the bushing hole. Apply more pressure, continue rapping. (Do
not allow the bushing sleeve to cock, you will ruin it.) This is a slow
process but it works.

Also, if the bushing skews slightly in the hole, you can rap on the
backside of the ear next to the hole and this sometimes helps guide the
bushing, Keep squeezing with the vice after you see movement.

Rapping the area around the bushing hole will accomplish the same thing
only much quicker.

Todd,
Next time, if there is a next time, just cut off a piece of exhaust pipe
or get one from a local shop. Then split it. I've even tack welded them
in and left them. The need for the spacer to be the correct width is
critical so just measure the distance between the ears before removing the
old bushing.

Steve,
I was down at the Coop when I replaced the upper bushings in Double Trouble. Including the one that ChuckB had found loose in the
driver side arm. I watched one of Jim's mechanic (no longer in Jim's employ) screw around for over an hour removing the bushings out
of someone else's coach using an impact hammer. I told him that he could push them out using the press they had. He disagreed and
kept on messing with the impact wrench. He finally got them all out and was using a vise to push them back in which was mounted on
the work bench in front of a 20 ton press. I suggested he use the press. He said "I've done this a bunch of times before." He
continued and all of a sudden I heard this CRAAACCCCKKK - THUD!! The moveable vice jaw broke off and hit the floor along with the
arm. He then moved over to the press. It was a Harbor Freight vise though. ;-)
When it came time to do mine he got the impact hammer out and I told him to put it away. I took a new bushing and went to see the
guy that Jim uses for exhaust work. I had him take a piece of exhaust pipe that was close to the OD of the flanged end of the
bushing and expand it until the bushing just cleared the flange. It was about 1" tall. I then had him do the same thing for the
small end of the bushing. Then I had him make a "smile" that fit the OD of the middle of he bushing that was the same height as the
distance between the two vertical surfaces that the bushing goes through.
When I got back to Jim's shop it took us less than 20 minutes to R&R all four of the bushings. The bushing that was loose we had to
weld as the bores in the control arm were worn. We migged 3/8" - cooled the bushing with a wet rag - migged 3/8" - cooled the
bushing with a wet rag - migged 3/8" and so on. I think we wound up with 6 "stitches" holding the bushing in the arm. Worked fine
until I gave them to Dave Lenzi for a pair of his engineered upper control arms.
The tools I made were good for one installation as by the time we were done the exhaust pipe rings were messed up.
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,
I got pretty good, and quick doing it that way. I have a chisel bit for
my air wrench that has a rounded tip to prevent any scarring of the A arm
surface. I can't take credit for the method though. Fields alignment did
the front ends on all my hot rods and classics over the years and they used
that method. They'd have those bushings out in New York minute.
Penetrating oil helps.

Don't know about the ones that the Curtis's sell but I've had the ones that Dave Lenzi sells on Double Trouble for two years and I
run five degrees caster, zero degrees camber, and 0 toe in / out.
Double Trouble goes down the road straight as a die in the middle lane of a three lane highway.
Regards,
Rob

Anyone have any insight into the Curtis's new Upper A-Arm that Jim K sells? It's touted to add up to 6 degrees of caster. Not much
of a description, no picture, no price yet.
