Had a heck of a time getting the LCA bushings out! Bought the bearing puller and it still wasn't enough believe it or not. Burned out the inner bushing (a week's worth of PB Blaster helped). The outer race still wasn't having it... Finally with a little heat, make that a crapload of heat, and my air chisel...they came out like butter.....glowing, hot as hell, butter. Good times.

I do like to accumulate tools. Thanks for the info. I'm going to see if I can snag one of those sets.

Thanks guys. I'm going to pm Mike then. I saw Mike klotz had a video showing the solid bushings he has but I didn't see anything about removal.

Anybody have any suggestions in getting these bushings out? The ones near the crossmember each side. I'm trying to get ready for powdercoating. Thx

Thanks mrbigtanker. I'm not planning on doing anything too crazy. I want to go stock Datsun off-white for body color and then mostly everything else in dark graphite. Definitely like the look of the chevy rally wheels on a static drop. Going to take the frame to be blasted and powdercoated graphite hopefully in the next few weeks. I have somehow accumulated 3 L16s in the last three months so I'll be piecing one together from all the parts I have from the three. My goal is to just be able to run dual 40s reliably. Hopefully it'll be drivable in about a year or so.

They charged me $450 for the media blast and the sandable powdercoat primer. There are a some spots that are a little thin that I need to hit myself but I'm pretty happy with it.

Hey guys. Just a little update. Just got the cab back from media blasting and coating. It looks pretty good overall and it sure did save a lot of time sanding and scraping three layers of paint. Like I thought there really wasn't any areas of rust, but man is the top of my cab hella dented up. It's going to need a lot of effort to get it straight. Trying to get my frame steam cleaned this week and off to powdercoat...wish me luck!

Welcome! The floor mats rock! Awesome that you have a runner.

Saweet! Will do.

Oh snap! I need the big one! If he doesn't take it please let me know! Thanks!
