BTW, Bob, after a couple of seasons with them, what is your impression of the sport bushings wrt the OE ones?

I completed this upgrade this weekend. Today's the test ride (when the rain stops). I've been chasing a "vagueness" in the rear suspension for a couple of years, this better fix it! I'll post after the test ride.

I'll also include some pics of the tools I used, like the custom-crafted bearing pusher tool. I used a 6" bench vise for bushing removal/replacement. Also needed a cheater bar on the vise handle.

I'm very interested to hear your results and see pics. I have the requisite 6" vise at the ready. Need to find a cheater bar. I also have access to a proper press.

Hey Paul, I posted in a new thread, shouldn't be too far down the page. But the end result is two thumbs up! Everything that bothered my about the rear suspension (mushiness, float) is gone. And if you have a proper press then it's a lot easier.
