Title: Distributor Bushings replacement
Post by: Andrew on May 12, 2019, 03:37:20 PM

What method has proven acceptable for removing worn distributor shaft bushings and installing new ones? The service manual just says to replace them if worn but without any clue as to how to get them out and in. Any 'been there,done that' suggestions will be appreciated. Distributor is the standard AutoLite IAD-4008A. Thank you

The tool needed is a bushing driver. It will safely drive out and re install the new ones.
