Ok, got the OME suspension in, now I need to put int he caster correction bushings. I have a shop lined up that will do the pressing, all I have to do is remove and reinstall the arms myself.
I'm removing them after work (about an hour and a half from now), taking them in tomorrow to be pressed out/in and then reinstalling them tomorrow night. Then I have an alignment appointment for Thurdsay.
I searched and searched on here and can't find much info about it. Maybe because it is so straight forward.
I looked at the page in the FSM about removing the front leading arm, and it didn't provide much guidance.
I looked on the slee site, and it mentions using rachet straps to hold the axle forward - no problem, I have lots of those at home.
But, do I jack the vehicle up? Support it on jackstands on the frame? Another set of jackstands on the axle? Do I leave the tires on, or remove them?
Sorry for all the silly questions, but I want to be safe, and I also like to think through the full job before starting, I find it makes things go faster.
Thanks,
Charlie
PS. I did make a note of the fact that I need to remove the bolt side of the frame fasteners and the nut side of the axle fasteners due to the serrations.
