Lower control arm bushing removal
The other day I was steered in the right direction for the instructional video on the “how to site” for removing the outer shell of the lower control arm bushings. The video, by Jim Lusk, shows him using a 1 3/8”-6 tap. I had no luck finding a used tap on Ebay. New ones are astronomical in price. Locally I found one for close to $175.00, but at the same place I was able to buy a grade 8 1 3/8”-6 X 8” bolt for $17.00. So with my die grinder, belt sander and file, I made my own tap, that worked just fine.
