XI Traction Strut Strongflex bushings install

Installation the easy way....

1. Press hydrobearing down flush using press.
2. Press the hydrobearing out.
3. Using a bench vice and hanging onto the arm of the strut press the bushing in.
4. Use a sleeve on one side of the strut to push the bushing all the way through.

The second tension strut proved to be really a pain in the butt. Even after letting soak with PB Nutblaster overnight it would not press out. So, I pressed the center rubber section out and then took a chisel to folded over edges so that I could get a better situation to press it out.

Going to clean them up a bit more and repaint.
