Need you engineering types opinions. I have the aluminum banana arms out of my 79 SC replacing the OE bushings. If you have done this before, you know the rubber bushing comes out easily, leaving the steel inner sleeve inside the trailing arm. I was using a hacksaw, trying to carefully make a kerf along the axis of the bushing to help facilitate the removal of the steel sleeve. Well, I got the sleeve out, but I didn't realize I had cut through the sleeve and slightly kerfed the inner surface of the trailing arm, about 1/16-3/32 deep.
Did I ruin the trailing arm, or would a Mig/Tig bead solve my problem?
Thanks for your input.
