ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Easiest way:

    1: Cut off head and tail of bolt, cutting between the control arm/bushing and inside of shock ear/tab on both sides. Angle grinder with a cutting wheel(wheel of death) works quickest, or reciprocating saw(sawzall).
    2: Remove shock.
    3: Using a wood hole saw(I think 1.25" is what I used), WITHOUT a pilot bit on the inside of the hole saw, saw out the rubber part of the bushing. Should only take about 30 seconds to go completely through and if you used the right size hole saw, should completely remove the rubber.
    Like this(not a CB7 specific picture, but shows how to do it)

    4. Using whatever straight blade saw you like(hacksaw, keyhole saw, or the easiest, reciprocating saw) cut a groove into the sleeve of the bushing that's now left in there.
    5. Using a cold chisel, hammer out the sleeve.
    6. Press in new bushing.

    Done. Took me about 15 minutes a side when I did mine, from jacking the car up, to setting it down with the new suspension installed.
