Followed by some loud blue fire from yours truly. now I got another casting that also has bad bushings, how do I get those little jokers out of the casting without busting it again? and for the record I kept the broken casting and am going to braze it in my spare time. thanks for y'alls time.
do you have Les Andrews mechanic book?
