Front diff piviot bushing question?

[wild horse]

Does the bushing on the front diff's come out easy or is it somthing that has to be pressed out and then back in? I'm talking about the bushing that goes into the drop bracket .

If you use a ball joint press or ujoint press same thing, with a chunk of pipe, they press out pretty easy. Then wedge a screw driver between the metal sleeve and the outside of the hole and try and fold it, then beat that out with a cold chisel. Or you can just reuse the metal sleeves, whatever you wanna do.

Some urethane replacement bushings reuse the metal sleeve that's already in the beam (provided it's in good shape). You just cut/burn out the old rubber and stick the urethane replacement in.

if it's the factory bushing, it's going to fight you to get it out. i used a combo of fire, screwdrivers, drill bits and my sawzall.
