Re: Spider windsheild R&R, trailing arm bushings

Paul:

Just did these on my Spider so I could install Super Pro.  It was a 
painfully long experience but successful.  Actually all you do is remove as 
much of the rubber (I used a drill but you could burn it out - very 
smelly)  Then you carefully cut through the metal sleeve remaining with a 
hacksaw.  I went 'almost through' then used cold chisel to peel away the 
sleeve from the trailing arm housing.  It's not a quick method but does 
save screwing up the trailing arms with a press.  Installing the Super Pro 
bushings is the easy part.
