I am in the process of replacing all of the worn steering pieces on my jeep. I had taken everything apart a year ago so that I could repaint the frame. I purchased a bellcrank repair kit. I went to install the kit today but when I looked at my bellcrank I found that it has a large bushing installed instead of the normal spacer and bearings. I'm not sure why this was done. There is a tight fit between the bushing and the pin. I would not mind leaving it this way but I don't remember how they sealed the top and bottom so the grease does not seep out. Any ideas on this one. Or I could drive out the bushing and go the factory route. Here is a picture.
Well, after thinking it through I decided to get out the bushing driver and the big hammer and knock this bushing out. It came out with no issues. I was concerned about sealing the grease and I don't want to take any short cuts with the steering, brakes, or suspension. Problem solved.
