d35 pivot bushing

[stegomon]

How complicated is it to replace both pivot bushings.? Also do the bushings come out of the beam kinda easy and not a pain in the toosh to take out

Get the James Duff bushings. They're 1 piece units that go inside of the OEM sleeve (which is the hardest part to remove). If the beam is completely out of the vehicle, burn the bushing out or use a shop press to press it out. If the beam's still in the vehicle, drop the center down and use a large C-clamp and a socket to press it out. A ball joint press tool would also work.

I ran a 1.5" hole saw through the old rubber on mine. Leaves about 10% of what you'll have to burn away otherwise, saving you a lot of time.
