it really wasnt as bad as i thought it'd be. all said and done, it took me about 5 hours. that included cig/beer breaks


hmm whats this? no rear end!



here it is out of the car







look at how bad those things are! completely GONE. the two front inner sleeves popped right out, didnt even have to burn them - thats how bad they were



here is the key tool for this install. oxygen and acetylene




FIRREEEEE!!!!




^ getting all the rubber and sleeves out was the most time consuming part of the whole job... even with the cutting torch.


and finally... new bushings are in








if anyone else does it.. all i gotta say is be very careful bolting it back on. i stripped one of the studs... luckily i had a die/tap set handy and i only needed to rethread it maybe 2 or 3 threads. just be careful because i think getting those studs out could be a major PITA.

 

dude!

take it apart and paint that *****.

Im getting another S14 subframe and having it power coated.

 

i was thinking about at least cleaning it... but.. eh. i wanted to go out last night. lol.

 

touche

 

jesus, you pulled it with the diff still in there? haha

good job

 

no reason to take the diff off. it actually helps to raise it back on because the pumpkin fits perfectly in the jack

 

ya thats how i do.

removing it should take about 15-30min tops
