[VAC] Re: Shock up date

[NotoriousBuz@xxxxxxx]

(I forgot if I asked on this list or the A/S list about shock and bushing 
removal so I'll post to both.) To prepare for Sunday's shock replacement 
festivities I have sprayed the nuts a couple of times with a penetrating 
catalyst this past week and made a bushing cutter to split the bushings in 
the new shocks for easy installation. (I hope) The cutter was made from a 2 
1/2 inch X 1/4 inch carriage bolt. I ground down the square area under the 
head, then ground the head to a thin sharp circular blade. The head of the 
carriage bolt fits inside the bushing, and the blade cuts deep enough to 
slice the bushing thru to the shock. I mounted the cutter in a hand drill and 
15 min later 4 shocks and 8 bushings were cut clean.
