upper link spindle?

 

Upper control arm shaft? Are you just trying to replace the bushings? No new metal outer sleeves on the new bushings is there?

Hanyes calls it upper link spindle. What the upper control arm connects to. I just got the rubber bushings from Rockauto. I see there are some metal sleeves and stuff too. I just wanted to take it apart so I can get everthing hot tanked. The rubber will be destroyed in the tank. They are still in good shape, so I many spend the many hours cleaning the 30yr old grease off.

So let the hot tank destroy them, then oyu wont have to worry about how to get them out, just have to get the new ones in.
