I saw the spine surgeon today. Surgery doesn't sound too bad...back on my feet the next day and no heavy lifting for awhile afterwards. Too bad it'll have to wait until summer when I can actually be away from the labs for a week without the entire university having to shut down.

Hart...I like the idea of riding in the sidecar then being able to split off ehen I see you heading right for a deer.

Wow, June seems like a long ways away. But happy for you that a solution is at the ready.

Ya hangin' in there?

Yeppers and once again I found myself practicing for the up and coming flat track season, of course I meant to do that :shock:

I also ran across my Monroe copper wanna be riding buddy :ROTFL:

I WISH I had a camera, it was a total blast seeing a cop on my bike trying to do a wheelie :shock:

All he could do was a burn out on the wet pavement because he was scared to get up a lil speed and after almost dumping it, he exclaimed........."this bike isn't like mine at all! NO WAY it's a 650!" :-)r

Gotta introduce ya to this guy Tom, would would bust a lil guy meeting him :ROTFL:

This time he said for sure he is going to get a hold of me so I can do to his what I have done to mine.............bike Eduardo, the bike Eduardo. Figure I would nip that before he goes throwing up more wet t-shirt dreams :goink:

Yea Eduardo is a tall drink of water

Hart, all this two wheel code talk has me cross-eyed. You have a secret nighttime (or daytime in your case!) hobby? :CAMPING:

Hey Tom, change of subject...

I need to replace the clevis bushings on the lower control arm on both sides (getting some clunks and I can move the fork easily with a crowbar.) Can the LCA stay on the Jeep while I press out the clevis bushing? Or does the LCA have to be removed to do the job?

If the LCA can stay in I'll do the job in my garage - but if it has to come out I might as well just replace the entire lower control arm. Thanks!

No code talk if ya know bikes or somewhat know my twisted but truthfull thoughts :jester:

........flat trackin = sliding around, copper buddy= Cop/police officer/law enforcement agent(on friendly terms with)
wet t-shirt dreams= Eduardo's fantasy, you'll have to ask him to fill ya in :ROTFL:

Can be done on the Jeep if ya have a torch and are handy with a ball joint press or similar red neck press. Blow out (cut out, catches fire and then falls out) bushing with torch, clean/prep hole very well with small wire wheel/sanding drum, grease and press in new bushing. Some say noway, must be pressed out and pressed in, that's only cause they go get their nails done every month and don't want dirt under them. :jester:

I have done walking beam bushings on big rigs like this for years, some get it, some don't. Other's marvel at what can be done with a torch, some effort and ingenuity.

Ahhh, gotchya! That flat-tracking is kinda like those ice racers, isn't it? That stuff is CRAZY! I'll have to see if I can find a copper buddy - just in case I HAPPEN to be just a touch over the speed limit here :lol:

Great advice. Looking at it the bushing doesn't seem that difficult to get out - but the local tire/suspension shop I use and trust said it was a 2 hour job per side cuz the LCA needed to come out. Crap, in that case I'd just buy 2 new LCA's and install those.

Thanks, Hart. The way I figure it $20 for the bushings, rent a "redneck bushing press" and I should have a clunk-free Jeep again - yes?

Well they say 2 hours per side bacuse they would press out and press in the new bushing. Then realign because you have to if ya removed the lca's. 2 hours is about right at any rate with getting everything out of your way, taking your time and doing it with out messin anything up. A real torch would work best but if ya have a hot propane style that would work to, just catch the bushing on fire and when it starts to melt/drip that's when ya wack it out of there. The clean the hole very very well, grease the bushing real well and it should just go right in once ya figure out the press idea :JEEPIN:

Ahh the smell of burning rubber in the morning... :shock:

I figure I'm gonna be using a torch or heat gun anyway cuz I'm pounding down the pinch welds and doing some fender liner plastic surgery - so why not catch a couple of bushings on fire, right? :-)r

Thanks Hart!

Must be getting early, clock are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, it's all cold.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

Need me to help any further just lemme know :jester:

You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel
Tired of travel, you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door - light out and look all around
Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
what a long strange trip it's been
