IMRC bushing install tip
Posted to Technical Tips Forum on 11/12/2013 10 Replies

I was doing these IMRC bushings today and usually I drop a few. This time however Is the first time I actually believe there is just maybe slight proof I'm getting a "tad" wiser. Been using a pick with limited success.

I took this mechanics wire and ran it through the bushing ,through the hole, and bent the end. Guess what I didn't cuss or drop one =) 2004 Ford Freestar SEL, ECM/Inputs/Outputs Photo 2004 Ford Freestar SEL, ECM/Inputs/Outputs Photo

Im a slow learner but if you're like me these little tips help out the day by just adding the slightest smile to your mug. I hope it helps you

PS here is the part number of the bushing in case your Ford place is like mine and every time its 5 minutes on the phone. I keep a bag in a parts bin now . 2004 Ford Freestar SEL, ECM/Inputs/Outputs Photo 2004 Ford Freestar SEL, ECM/Inputs/Outputs Photo
