Having completed the trailing arm stud repair I wanted to replace the T/A pivot bushings so dropped the T/As and the differential to replace the diff axle shaft bearings and oil seals and the pinion bearing and oil seal. Got all that out on the floor last night along with most of the stock SS exhaust system and am currently trying to press out the old bushings and install the new. The plan is to degrease, pressure was...
