727 Rebuild Advice

I read somewhere impact sockets work is that true?

Sometimes sockets work (depends on the individual socket) but most of the time they don't because the edge is rolled so they'll drive into the bushing, rather than drive it in. I've had better luck finding pieces of pipe the right size and when cut true they have a nice square edge for driving.

BTW: we've been calling it "driving" bushings in but my actual preference is to press bushings in where possible. Less chance of damaging them from my experience.
