To start the bushing
First check the bore for dirt and burrs.
The bore* must be clean and free from
burrs. Start the spiral steel bushing into
the bore by placing the bushing at the bore
opening at a slight angle near the beginning
of the bushing wrap or tip. With a push-in
and a clockwise twisting action, the spiral
bushing will start to enter the bore. Continue
pushing the bushing in with a clockwise
rotation as far as comfortable.
The bushing conforms to the bore wall
Use a slotted “T” handle wrench* to grip
the bushing about 1” back from the tip.
Twist the “T” handle wrench in a clockwise
rotation, push the bushing in until the end of
the wrench contacts the bore opening. The
slotted “T” handle wrench is recommended
for this operation (Service tool # ST-100).
Tap bushing into position
With the bushing within 1/8 inch of the
bore surface, finish the installation by
tapping the bushing into position. Starting at
the heaviest part of the bushing away from
the tip. Tap around the bushing until seated.
To remove the bushing
Near the tip of the bushing, pry up the wrap
with a flat blade screwdriver. While the
screwdriver holds the wrap up, grip it with
a slotted “T” handle wrench and with a
clockwise twist and pulling action the
bushing will come out.
*Note:
the steering knuckle bore has been simulated for photographic purposes. The slotted “T” handle wrench service tool is
recommended for ease of installation, or a pair of narrow square-nose pliers can be used to make the repair.
