AAnybody ever write up a good , jungle way to install the shell/bushings armed with just a press?
 
C3? I do it with a vice, I tapped mine in/out with just a large socket over the bushing/shell, and out with just a air chisel... mine is just a CP hand held little thing I used for brick cutting on houses....:mobeer:
 
Jeff, get a large metal tube, cut it along the length and remove a chink, cut it wider at the ends so the bushings can slide in. Smooth ends so it doesn't dig into the arm and use it to support the arm...then press away.

I always dress the holes in the arm w/ a little worn flapper disc to polish the metal smooth, a little grease and they go in like butter.
