Rear Case Bushings: Disassembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the case bushing bores for nicks or burrs.
- Using the special tools, remove the rear case bushing.
NOTE:
Remove any minor nicks or burrs using a fine oil stone. Remove the case bushings only if they show signs of excessive wear or scoring.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the case bore while removing the bushing.
NOTE:
Always install both bushings when either bushing is installed. However, remove and install only one bushing at a time. Use the other bushing in the case to help align the tool and the new bushing during installation.
