I think your big pull plate is backwards. It has the groove for the nut. Having it backwards makes the plate diameter grow when tightening bends it. Double washers act as a thrust bearing and belong to the cup side. They should be lubed aswell as thread.

@williammc3183 5 ай бұрын

Should have spuun the cup around to pull from the interior center, instead of the bushing, to avoid damaging the bushing. The cup would sit flat on the crossmember flanges to facilitate ingress of said component. Then use larger flat piece to put pressure on the outer edges said bushing.

Hi ray and wife unit, here in England it’s -10 with a covering of snow in parts. My thoughts on the long videos is the longer the better, as you’ve always got the option to pause and go back later if it gets a bit long. But the longer videos give a chance to cover more in depth content instead of short videos just covering oil changes etc. I’m sure others will let me know why I’m wrong but it’s my opinion. Love what you do and each day is like Christmas when I turn on and there’s a new video 😀😀😀👍👍

When pulling a bushing sleeve with a threaded rod using a impact only loads the rod like a spring. A large breaker bar will let you to apply more more clamping force on the rod thus allowing you to turn the nut on the cup side half a turn or a full turn then wack the driving plate with a hammer turn nut on cup and repeat. The lose of clamping force on a rod with an impact is like using a long extension on your impact wrench. Torque test channel did an experiment with torque loss due to extensions and a threaded rod acts the same way. Former machine shop employee in my teens and 20s

In the machine shop, to press fit something like sleeve or bushing We would use Dry Ice just pack the part into a cooler with dry ice on it until its really cold- you also heat up the hole your going to press it into, at that point depending on the press fit your doing the part would just fall into the hole. Cold expands, heat contracts do both to get twice as much space. When both parts come to room tempt they won't come apart without a lot of force. When you heat up a bolt to remove it your actually making the hole larger, you can use hot and cold to remove something too.

Hi Ray, with a lot of shrink fit experience, I might suggest our method, we used eco-friendly anti-freeze that we would freeze to a slushy and we had special gloves to protect our hands from the cold and the other part we would use hot water close to boiling and use Deltronic oil sprayed into the fit. Since I doubt you'll be doing this method very often, I doubt you'd want to buy a special freezer that will freeze anti-freeze. I just wanted you to know their is a work around without resorting to liquid Nitrogen, which we also had on hand if needed but it seems you have it under control, good luck to you

This is perfect example of why it's important to choose a contractor base on skill and knowledge and not just because you like him or because he has a successful channel. Ray is obviously qualified to do "most" repairs on many vehicles, but this video demonstrated that this job was not one of them. This was perhaps the failure of the customer if he neglected to ask is if Ray had performed this particular operation previously. It was also a failure on Rays part to GUESS his way through the project. As a business owner myself, I can tell you there is value in telling a customer, "ive never done this and I think you should find someone who has." This prevents the contractor from losing money on a job due to error and it tells the customer that the contractor knows his limits. That said, *IF* the bushing came with instructions on how to use it properly and Ray chose not to read them, then that would speak volumes. Often times however, these aftermarket items will not come with instructions, so we cant assume.

Oh I’m so happy to see someone else have my sort of experience with a rod and cup style bushing puller. And Ray doesn’t have rust to deal with. Over here, step one would be clean the exposed part with emery paper, ideally after pulling the bushing out a little the opposite way first. Even then, I think the time saving method would still be to take out the frame and bring it to the press. The threaded rod is never strong enough for the extraction and, in this case, having to use a smaller diameter rod for insertion seems like a recipe for failure. Using a press, the frozen bushing doesn’t have time to return to room temperature before it’s fully home, so the operation goes smoothly and far less frustratingly. Thankfully, I’ve never done one of these, so not sur how much extra work is involved in getting the frame out, but it turns the actual bushing replacement into a 10 minute breeze, so quite possibly still a time saving technique. Man oh man, this global warming is a b1tch. Even cold in Florida, now. It’s been over a decade since we escaped with no snow, here in Ireland. Time was when snow was a rarity and we’d be rushing out to play with it, if we were lucky enough to get any. It was a once every 3 or 4 years occurrence, back then. Now that we’ve warmed up so much, it’s every year and we tend not to get summery weather in the middle of the year, either. Cold and wet is the norm, now. I’d love to bring the experts over here and make them live through a typical year, then explain how, if they’re telling the truth about all this warming, we’re getting potato blight and constant cold all summer, then freezing conditions every winter. 2023 was supposed to be the warmest on record, here. But if you blinked at the wrong time, you would have missed the warm period. Ask anyone who lives and works on the land. The upshot of all this is we now have salt on our roads every year, often for long periods of time, so our rust problems are returning to 1970s magnitude. On an Irish car, that bushing would have been rust welded into place. Getting it out , under the car like that, would probably have been impossible without damage to the frame. As for getting the new one in, particularly a rubbery one, with no outer sleeve to push on, I suspect that would be a similar nightmare with the added joy of rusty dandruff falling in your eyes. Remind me… why do I want to get back to work?

Ray showing that bushing what he thought about it after it came out was hilarious. It made my day!

The singular symbology displayed at bushings release was very much warranted and appreciated.

Good morning Mr Ray and Mrs Ray, hope y'all have a great day. It's 3 degrees here this morning so it's pretty cold again

Finally got a chance to watch this today and it so restored my faith that even the best of us run into those parts that are a beast to remove. I probably would have broke out the 4-6 foot cheater bar or saw by the point you reset.

First, let me say I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. I haven’t finished watching this video and right now you’re just starting to install the bushing. If you don’t end up doing it, I would recommend reversing that cup in order to have enough distance. With all the fancy tools you have I’m surprised you do not have a set of these bushing plates and cups. I bought a set for about $80 in order to do the press and wheelbearings on a Honda pilot. It works great. Thanks and keep up the entertainment!

That bushing is built with a slight taper on the back end and should be installed from the front and pushed or pulled toward the back of the car. HTH forr next time .

Haha! I love that you flipped it the bird once it came out. Done that a few times myself. 😂

I actually worked with Whiteline in Australia to get the rear diff and subframe bushings made. We also sent them a bunch of GTR stuff. Not sure what brand these are. but they're probably Whiteline knock-offs. My shop specialized in high HP Nissans. We also used a c-clamp ball joint press and some large all-thread to develop a press tool for the job. This was back in, I believe 2008. My 2006 350Z got the second one sent to the US. The first one went in my friends car. When I worked at Nissan, we had to replace the entire rear subframe because Nissan doesn't make replacement bushings.
