So I have gotten past my generator issue and I'm trying to get a new pivot bushing installed in the front axle. I peeled the old bushing out with an air chisel and did a light clean out of the hole. I started the new one that came from Steiner. It went in about 1/4 of the way and now is refusing to budge. I heated the axle with my mapp torch and tried cooling the bushing while I had an 8 ton bottle jack pushing on the grill guard. All it did was flex the front axle assembly. I dug out the service manual and it just says to replace the bushing but doesn't give any installation advice.
So what methods have you gentlemen had success with? I'm at a bit of a loss as I figured this would be an easy install.
