Burn baby Burn

i used a torch to burn them out then i squeezed my new ones in using a bolt and washer. i tighten them to the tightest and wacked them with a hammer and they slid in. also use lots of grease!! more the lub the better!

To get them in you can also try putting them in the deep feezer for a while.

I just did this on mine. I used a 3 lb. sledge and knocked the snot out of them a bunch of times. I used a large socket once I got them flush. It was really noisy. The new ones went right in with a little lube. Not really sure if I notice a big difference or not in the handling but the noise is gone. My factory ones where making a horrible noise.
