69 Dart 4 door cruiser
I made a little bit of progress today. The valve spring retainers were welded to the bushing shells…
Don’t worry… the weld appearance does not matter.
Into the press…
It is almost out.
I grabbed it with Channel Locks and it came out easy from there. Next, installation of the bushing and shaft. There is certainly a correct way to do this but I’m not sure what that is. Last August I did a front end rebuild in my 72 Duster. I pressed the bushing into the arm then the shaft into the bushing. In doing so, I damaged one bushing when the shaft was a tight fit.
This time, I pressed the shaft onto the bushing then put them together into the arm.
Done.
