    When we put the diff drops on for CSTYLES, one of his bushings were FUBAR. I'll have to call Welder Guy to see how much force was required to push the new one in. It may not take that much force to install the new one, I'm more concerned on how much trouble you'll have getting the old one out. IIRC there is a metal core on the bushing that got siezed to the mounting bolt on CSTYLES. If that core came out, then removal of the old one may be very easy. I highly recommend anti-sieze on the mounting bolt when you re-install.

    EDIT:

    Just talked to Welder Guy. He said that it didn't take that much force to install the new bushing. Your gear puller will prolly work or if there is room, you could even draw it in with a large bolt & some washers.

    I'm guessing that the largest challenge will be to remove the remnants of the old bushing.
