Let's see. What's pissing me off today? Oh yeah...
I'm trying to fabricate the "homebrew" rear trailing arm bushing removal tool per the instructions many of you have seen at http://www-ese.fnal.gov/People/wilcer/volvo_trailing_arm_bushing_tool.htm (it's also mirrored at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~lhealey/volvotool/).
I was aggravated to find that the one of my replacement bushings will not fit into the straight pipe coupling I bought. It looks like the bushing outer sleeve is slightly oval shaped. A check with the dial caliper seems to confirm this. I know this set up works in an ideal world. But that's not doing me any goddam good. Has anyone encountered this problem? How did you get around it?
