I was a little apprehensive about ****ing with the mounts, but that may be the plan B if everything else is taking too much effort. I'm hopeful that I can compress the other bushing enough while it's loosely in to give me enough slack. I used a vice and 50mm socket (41mm wrench on the other side - both fit perfect for the Whitelines) to press the bushings in. It had so much force going that I was starting to crush the metal face, so I don't think I'll be getting any more out of that method, lol.
I'm not opposed to buying new LCA's, considering the corrosion that's starting on these. Should I have any concerns if I can't get the washer in and just install without it in order to limp it home (7 miles) before the new LCA's come in?
