Is there anyone out there that has replaced the idler arm bushings have any pointers. I know you have to take the frame bracket off to push out the larger bushing. Three bolts hold on the bracket to the frame: two go through the frame and appear easy to remove. The bolt that goes in from the bottom of the bracket has no access hole in the frame. Is there a nut for this bolt welded into the inside of the frame? I'd hate to take it out and then have no access to get it back in.
I have a 12 ton Harbor Freight press, so assume that should be sufficient for the task, if I can support the bracket properly.
Does the removing the steering linkage rod containing the smaller bushing present any problems.
Any experienced feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ralph
