Lower control arm outer bushing shell removal frustration...

do any of you have an recycle tool store from big industry? In Wichita we have a place called the yard, it sells obsolete aircraft tools & all kinds of other stuff .

I bought my 1 3/8 nf12 tap for less than $10--
place a thick washer in before tapping-- or you might chip the tap!!

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.
I buy from the yard all the time. Good tools. I have a huge box of 1/16" and 1/8" cleco pins for my sheetmetal jobs from there. Doubtful they will have a tap that big though.
