okay so you must first jack up your car and put it securely on jack stands as you can see here




next only after making sure it is really secure crawl under that bitch so you can see everything nice and clear.



there is a rectangular bushing here, remove it like such and retain for future reference, and the sleeves.



next, make sure you have a clean work surface and also someplace where you can concentrate on the task at hand.



be very careful when you remove your old sleeves from the bushing, you might hurt yourself. lube up your new bushing and push in the sleeve.



reuse the plate and bolt......



and remount.
this made us very tired



there is another bushing you get with this kit but I was too pissed to bother documenting. I crawled under the front and I have a ripped CV boot, not a drop of grease in it.

The other bushing is just as simple tho

if I had some smaller exhaust tubing that would have been easier.

Nice write-up. I'm not sure how well it was "documented", but the clean work area with the concentration spot is just genious.

Next time atleast use some bricks to secure the car man! That's scary!

I like how the jack looks like it's slightly tilted.

I was freaked when I did that with two jackstands!!!...and When the creeper went back to the shifter my nose was on the exhaust pipe!

Come on man, some Cheezy jackstands at schucks (Kragen for you Cali people) are only like 20$ and the'll keep your name from being changed to flatcivic

Heck do that again and Ill send you a pair myself
