Has this happened to anyone else?
So I am changing my suspension (again) and I get to the part of the install where I put on the OME shocks out back... you know, the easy part! The front is done, the back is the easy end, right? I had already put the OME heavy springs in so all I needed was the shocks and then it was to be Miller Time.
I mistakenly take the whole rear apart before opening the OME box so I had no idea the shock bushing doesn't come installed... No big deal, right? NOT REALLY!! That little bugger is hard to get in there!! I spent way too long and got was too frustrated tying to get this easy step finalized. I lubed it up, I pryed on it, I stood on it, I searched my misc bolts bin for a bolt long enough to try and mount it/ pull it on.... nothing!!
I don't own a vise and I don't have any C clamps large enough for the task. I finally had to put the stock shocks back on and drive to Lowe's (closest store) and buy a big C clamp.
Anyway, I got it all buttoned up and the new set up is great. I thought I would start a thread so if this happens to anyone else they can get some tips on that bushing.
The C clamp method worked really well, and I know a vise will do the job, does anyone have any other ideas?
