Alright, so i got the swap in, and everything wired up and it does start..

But, I need to know what UPPER Radiator Hose to use?

Also, I'm doing all my bushings (control arms, trailing arms) BUT HOW DO I get them out? I've been trying to use a 12 TON press, but the damn bushings wont come out.. I spent 4 hours tonight and was only able to get one lower shock mount bushings out on the lower control arm.

I've been trying to burn them out with the torch and hammer, and air hammer, 12 ton press over and over but it keeps moving on the press or the socket starts to move then jumps off the damn press..

PLEASE ANY TIPS TO REMOVE THESE BUSHINGS WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!

 

damn nobody?

 

For the bushings, you can burn out the centers and then split the outer metal casings with a hack saw. Once the casings are split, you should be able to easily drive them out with a hammer and punch.

 

If you can't find the correct rad hose, I know they sell a universal one. You can bend it in any direction.

sad wut happened to the b17?

 

sold it over a year ago, swapped in a JDM B16 XSi, Sold the B16 the other day due to no TQ. Got the B17 Block but needs a rebuild or if cheap a new #4 piston (for sale $300). So thats why the b18c1 is in there.
