Need a press

[Cheerwineman]

I need help pressing out the bar pins from one set of shocks and putting them into another this weekend, preferably close to Mt Holly or Huntersville. I tried using a vice at work but it was too small. Or if someone has a cheap pair of bar pin eliminators Id be interested in buying them.

Spray some brake cleaner on them. They should come right out.

If the old shocks are junk, cut the eye open, then cut a slot in the bushing. Use a vice and grease when reassembling.

brake cleaner? Interesting, might try that next time. I always use the BFH, some grease, a little cussing, more BFH, and the bench vise. Pain in the arse, but never been denied.

Brake cleaner works great and so does alcohol

I'm over in Dallas, but I'd be glad to help you out. You can also do it with a big C-clamp an a deep well socket if you have those laying around. Or a floor jack and a vehicle's frame if you don't have a C-clamp big enough...

Hey Joe, if you don't get them out, I've got a press, & in Mt.Holly.
Even Coulwood Automotive, [Bellhaven & Valleydale] might pop em out for you.

I should be working out in the garage tomorrow. If you need a hand message me.

I ended up just making some BPEs out of angle iron
