I have had the Cruiser in my garage for the most part since early January trying to baseline it, but instead I've been getting sucked down other "while I've got that apart" rabbit holes instead. I'll get there eventually and I am learning as I go
Currently the passenger side LCA frame mounted bushing is kicking my butt. I made a puller out of a 1/2" bolt and some 2" black iron pipe fittings which managed to pull the driver's side bushing with little problem, but the passenger side has destroyed three bolts, the last of which I just cut off with the grinder. I have beat on it with a mallet, soaked repeatedly with PB, and totally mangled the side with the lip and the washer. So there's no going back.
I have searched the forum and it appears that most either choose to leave them in place or torch them out. Who has done this with a mechanical tool? I am ready to invest in said tool.
