8. Using a bushing removal tool or hydraulic press, remove the OE rubber bushing
and sleeve from the radius rod. See Image 4.
9. Align the BMR polyurethane
bushing as shown in Image 5 below and press the new bushing into place. Lube the inside of the bushing and insert the center sleeve. NOTE: due to the nature of movement, it is important that the bushing be installed correctly as shown in the image below to prevent pre-mature bushing wear and suspension bind.
10. Re-install the radius rod duplicating the above steps. Tighten the inner mounting
bolt to 85 ft/lbs.
11. Install wheels/tires. Lower vehicle.
