Have you checked the end of the threaded bolt in the pic posted above for an allen key hole?

Yep, actually I tried using that before I posted about my troubles. For whatever reason, possibly rust damage, I had no luck with it. After all, the entire top ends of both had rusted/broken off so it was all in pretty rough shape. A hex key doesn't really present a lot of resistance to force either. i suppose I could have used it as the force instead of the resistance but I'm not that bright.

Anyway the new ones are on, I just need to get an inch-lb torque wrench to finished the job I guess

Cool. The video I linked starts at the hex-key sequence. SB end links one of those things that can be tightened using the Gudentite Scale for sure. Super low consequence connections. People drive for years with them busted off and wonder why their rig Clunks when cornering.

Yep I finally figured out I was worrying about nothing. I just tightened the tops till a few threads were sticking out the top and the bushings looked right. I had a helluva time getting the 2nd one to spec on the bottom, because that flat nut is pretty useless when the part is aftermarket SAE and all you have is metric. But its done, having taken the 10x the time it should, which is typical for me.

On to the timing belt and bell cranks.
