I Beam bushing installation

Post by damn_fool »

I bought new bushings to replace all my front end parts. When I pressed out my I beam bushings I noticed there is a metal sleeve type bushing left. Do I need to get it removed from the I beam as well or can the new bushings be pressed in with them still there?

The new bushings are used with the old metal sleeves.

:yt: Just clean out the inside of the metal sleeve and they slide right in.
