11. Normally with enough room, you can place the bushing can in the differential mount and hammer it in with
a flat piece of wood. But, if there isn’t enough room, then you will have to fabricate your own press tool.
This is not as hard as it sounds.
Home made press materials:
- (2) steel plates (2 ½” x 2 ½” x ¼” thick)
- (2) 2” ID metal pipe (≈1” long “short”, ≈ 2” long “deep”)
Note: these lengths may vary based on your bolt thread length
- (1) ½” Bolt 5” long Grade 8
- (1) ½” Nut Grade 8
- (2) ½” Washers Grade 8
You should be able to find these supplies at your local hardware store.
Assemble the materials as shown in the diagram.
Use a ¾” wrench to hold the nut and a ¾” socket to tighten the bolt. The bolt may eventually run out of
thread. When this occurs, you can replace the short pipe with the deep pipe.
