So this afternoon, we tried to bash the old bushing out of the frame mount....

Then a miracle happened, when I remembered this 25lb steel ramrod I had. It was helped along with a 10 Lb sledge... Didn't take long with this..

Filed off the burrs and sanded it smooth

The new insert was polished up and coated with anti-sieze. ( for the next guy)

Then the threaded rods came out. You can easily insert them using this technique.

Crank crank

Final fit!

tomorrow the shackles and spring....
