Anyone have any tips for removing the stock caster bushings?
#17
NOTICE: The caster/camber adjustment sleeve must be removed and the axle bores and adjustment sleeve contact areas cleaned to ensure proper torque sequence. If not clean, damage to the ball joint, adjustment sleeve and/or axle bores can occur.
NOTICE: Failure to remove the caster/camber adjustment sleeve can result in a hard to steer condition.
Thoroughly clean and inspect the axle bore and adjustment sleeve contact areas.
Install the camber adjustment sleeve.
NOTE: Only tighten the nut finger tight at this stage.
Position the knuckle onto the axle and install the upper ball joint nut.
Install the new lower ball joint nut.
Torque : 44 lb.ft (59 Nm)
Install the upper ball joint nut.
Torque : 69 lb.ft (94 Nm)
NOTE: If necessary, tighten the nut until the cotter pin can be installed.
Install the new upper ball joint cotter pin.
Install the new lower ball joint nut.
Torque : 150 lb.ft (204 Nm)
I guess they mean just finish torquing the lower nut.
