OK guys here is the problem my 69 SWB F100 with 240 on the twin I-Beams the axle pivot bushing any idea (easier ways to replace them? i bought the parts and i tohught i had a friend who was going to help me but NOOOOOOOOOpe same guy who was going in with me on a truck well im needing the truck done and well i aint got air tools any ideas???? Thanks

 

I don't know if you want to tackle that job. You may take out the I beams and have the bushings pressed in at a shop. Check your king pins as now would be a good time to do them too. Getting the I-beams out isn't that tough, pretty self explanitory if you look a look under there.
You are fortunate the guy isn't a partner it sounds like.
I hope you have a better drive way to block it up on.

 

sig has pic of drive way as well as truck thanks man.

 

I recently did this job and was lucky enough to borrow my friend's shop press and my friend holding up the king bolt end of the I-beam while I pressed out the bushing.

And pressing out the bushing didn't go that smooth either. I managed to first get the rubber part out with the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve was handled by taking a hacksaw to the inside of the outer sleeve still in the I-beam...

You want to have all the rubber out of the bushing's outer sleeve. Then you take the blade off the hacksaw frame and reassemble it with the blade thru the outside sleeve of the bushing which is still in the I-beam. Stroke carefully as you don't really want to cut thru the outer sleeve just most of the way, and you want the cut to be at an even depth across the inside of the outersleeve. You're basically trying to make a major score across the inside.

Then you take a chisel or old screwdriver and start tapping on the sleeve toward the inside of the bushing on the portion of the sleeve that is protruding from the I-beam. The sleeve will tear, and then you run the chisel down that tear, before you know it, the sleeve pops out. You want to start on the side of the sleeve that doesn't have the collar of course. That will be obvious when you try this.

Now if you don't have you're own press, then to get the rubber out, you might take a drill and drill thru the old rubber to get the inner sleeve out. You can make a series of holes all around the inner sleeve. Then push out the remaining rubber until you have that outer sleeve clear. (Mine popped out using the press.)

After you do the outer sleeve trick mentioned above, then I would take the I-beams minus old pivot arm bushings with your new parts and go to a machine shop and have them press in the new parts. Installation is a 5-minute job. Getting them out is the part that can take time and at the machine shop time is money.
