New Bushing Kit

rotaryracer · 04-03-2010, 12:17 AM

Any idea how long (ballpark) it should take to replace the bushings in a '87 T-II? I bought a kit from Black Dragon and am trying to fit it into my schedule. Hours? Days? I don't have a lift. I do most of my own wrench turning.

Is this the Energy Suspension kit?

If you have a solid 2-3 days, you should be able to do it. I did mine in the street (with some other stuff), so it took me about 4.

Stuff I used: hammer, rubber mallet, chisel (cold chisel? Not a wood chisel), drift, propane torch, hacksaw/dremel, drill.

I was able to press in the bushings by hand and with a rubber mallet.
