Lower control arm outer bushing shell removal frustration...

I've also found it is easier to place the tap in a vise & thread the lca on it. Lawrence

ps- this info came from my 1962 service manual.[/QUOTE]

That's a good idea.
I never though of that, doing it that way.
I'm going to have to give that a try one of these days.
You taught me something new today.

Ya, screwing a 1 3/8 tap into that bushing shell does require some "muscle" in getting it to bite into the shell, but i have some heavy duty 3/4 inch drive ratchet, and breaker bar tools, and sockets, in the bottom drawer of the tool box.
