[doc] Re: re bushing..again!

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It wants to be a snug fit but not gripping it too tight, you may 
have to use a  fine 'rats tail ' (round) file or a dremil type tool 
and #carefully# make it fit better prior to fitting the bushing. 
easier to do now than after you have fitted the thing.


a little copper grease on the splines would help if you need to 
remove it in the future.

Just remember the position of the retaining bolt when you put it 
back into the upper u joint.
