Jacob, I hadn't heard that welding the mounts in was advised, but I haven't even read the directions yet. Is it under any stress? I wouldn't have thought it should even touch the bar, but again I haven't gotten this far yet.

...Call me crazy but thats how I did it and it wasn't easy but wasn't real difficult either.

Jim, thank you for posting your approach here. I will definitely attempt to follow how you did it, rather than tackle the much bigger job of removing the arms again. I was 10 years younger but I think that wheel bearing job still took me over 10 hours to do both sides. If I knew any better then, I would have changed that bushing when they were out.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe the freezer and the torch can help out here too.

Speed- don't blame me for your own insanity. You have to start a thread on what you're up to. Clint's bushings don't even constitute a rounding error on your ride!
