LCA pivot pins into new bushings:(

-
I have had a lot of success in doing it a different way. Since I don't have a press, I drive in the bushing then I put a deep socket I the back side of the lca. It needs to be the diameter of the inner bushing sleeve. Turn the lca back over, and put the pivot pin in the bushing, and using a pipe that fits against the pivot pin Ridge, I tap it in place. Done several like that. If you try to drive or press the pin without the deep socket to support the bushing from the back side, it will destroy the bushing.

Guys does anyone know if I already pushed the inner sleeve (the one the pin goes in) out an inch or so would that ruin that bushing? I carefully pressed it back into its proper location.

I am going to have my dad run the UCA's and LCA's to a machine shop tomorrow to press in all the bushings. I think the place can make a round piece that goes in the hole for the TB and hold the sleeve in place while the pin is pressed into it. I just want to be sure the bushing isn't ruined before I go through the trouble.

Ruined, buy new bushings.
