^^ IMHO getting the old bushings and cups out are more difficult that putting the sphericals in. either way not a very difficult job

srtthis are those spherical bushings by chance were they difficult to install

my uppers are solid in the housing. im using UPR radius arm uppers which have a heim joint on each end. took about 5 minutes to get the old bushing out with an air hammer and a dull bit.

if not a corded drill with a bunch of cheap drill bits work. just punch a bunch of holes in the rubber till you can knock the center out. the beat the cup down with a hammer and knock it out.

Put them in the freezer the night before you install them. Then take them out right before you slide them in. They'll shrink a little that way.

not exactly... they are stainless hard lines. double flaring stainless isnt all that easy. you need to heat it up so it doesnt crack

Click to expand...

my friend did mine and no cracks and he did the double flares on both sides i have a problem though i have the exact same set up as you with the rear end mine came out of a 95 gt .i went with stainless fuel and brake lines as well i have the 1987-93 brake lines and i need to mate the one main line .what fitting did you uses i am thinking 7/16 female fitting on one end to 3/16 male fitting on the other?i don't want to confuse anyone if you look at the rear end where they meet in the center that brake hose goes to the top .i need a compression fitting or something similar any ideas autozone and oreilys didn't have anything close.
