thank u sir

 

ok so when putting it back together wut kinda grease and i gotta use my stock cross pin so how does it stay on the cross pin????? and im wondering how i get teh cross pin on???

 

The bushings usually come with grease. Im doing the same thing in my car sometime this month. If theres not enough grease supplied im going to use clear caliper grease.

What do you mean by how do you get the cross pin on? It slides into the new bushing.

 

i was just wondering how it stays in if u grease it does it just slide in after the bushing is on

 

The cross pin just needs to be tapped in lightly with a hammer once the bushing is in the trailing arm. The cross pin stays in the right place on the bushing because the trailing arm is kept in position by the compensator arm.

It is just about possible to get the trailing arm bushing installed on the car with the trailing arm still attached but it will be much easier if you take the trailing arm off the car.

The easiest way to clean up the cross pin is to use a blowtorch and a wire brush to get the old rubber off, same goes for the trailing arm, but you should take it off the car if you are going to use a blowtorch.

A stake knife is great for removing the stock trailing arm bushing and easier to use than a hacksaw blade.

 

yeh i know all about the steak knife they cut threw hoses rubber mounts for exhausts and **** we use em for that kinda **** at the junlyard when scrapping a car

 

I've done this on two CRX's and its NOT easy. Both times, the busings were bonded into place and I had to cut out the center rod with a reciprocating saw. Then you need a blow torch to melt the rubber of the rod. It also helps to blow torch the the shell for the trailing arm if you can't get the rubber out.

Sounds like some people have had an easier time than me but on the two cars I did, it was a biotch.

Once all the old rubber is out, the new bushing goes right in. BTW, that with Energy Suspension bushings. I think the Prothane come with a new shell so you have to press out the old one and press in the new one.

 

i ordered the ES bushing i dunno if any of em come with the matal not even the mugen bushings come with the metal wish me luck they should get here monday

 

ok cant find washers that big think i can use a peice of metal and a clap vise wutever u know?

 

the mugen pieces come complete. All you need to do is press them into the trailing arm.
