Whoever it was said that the shop did it for only $50 when they brought the rear end removed from the vehicle in. I just wanted to see if I remembered the price because if it is only $50 to have it done while it is removed from the vehicle, i will do it that way!

If you take your old subframe out, which is a bitch, you should be able to do the wheel bearings.
Cutting the metal that is left from the bushing is extreamly easy. A sawsal, large flat head screw driver and a hammer is all you need. It took me 10 min to do both of mine.Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire? Is it the same as that one? Are you sure? I don't believe it. OK, it works.

I have my trailing arms off the car. It is fucking insane. I would rather them be on the car, so I can do like redbull325is. the trailing arms and hard to capture in a press or in a vice.

The thing is I'm in Chicago where I'm able to get a discount and would need to buy the parts before I travel back. How often do those little suckers need to be changed out? Don't feel like spending cash on them unless they need it.
Trent, are you talking about getting the nut off of the axle? Thoes are a real bitch. Isn't the torque like 200 pounds on thoes anyways? On the car is much easier I agree.Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire? Is it the same as that one? Are you sure? I don't believe it. OK, it works.

When your doing this be careful because is does "stretch" the arms a bit but thats usual. If that wont work burn them out.
