No worries Rob!

Was "fun" improvising lol

I was laughing earlier reminiscing about our little "diy ghetto flange bushing tool" compared to Shawns industrial strength Koch tools.

I know! I remember thinking there is no way in hell this thing going to work.... You Tube reference fail lol

Thanks for the advice guys. And I'll try the large socket Peter. I do plan to rent this tool out in the future...

Yep I'll be needing it at some point... I had the rear diff bushing done at around 70k and I have 136k hard miles on it now.

MFactory LSD and rear diff bushing installed at 198,386mi.
Also softened the rear koni yellows to soft plus 3/4 turn.

Glad to hear you got it all done! How does it drive?

Dual burnt tire marks ftw!

Nice having that all done and knowing that you did it yourself, eh?
