I have new bushings for my sons 77 Charger....we are having a heck of a time trying to get the linkage arms in place....any tips or advice??
I don't know how to put pics from my phone...I can get the bushings in the linkage arms but I cant get the bushings to snap on to the little metal tits on the arm pivot...no room to do anything in there....I tried a socket and c-clamp but that didn't workPost some pics of what's going on.
I've tried grease and that just makes it impossible to try to push onto the tit....IGrease it up.
The large cam on the motor I didn't have an issue with its the dang linkage end bushings...If it was mine Id say screw it rainx the heck out of it and roll it.....BUT its my sons car....safety 1st for my kids alwaysGoing through the same crap with my 79 300. That large plastic bushing that goes on the drive arm, well I got in the hole on the arm but it's a tight fit, I think it needs to rotate in the hole correct? Don't want to hook it up to try for fear if breaking the $75 piece of plastic. I'd also like to kick the designer of this mess.

how do I take the system off AND put back on...doesn't look possibleI have never been able to get them snapped together while on the car. I have to take the entire linkage off the car to get them together correctly.

You will never be able to install them in the car. Take them out and press the bushings in the vice with the correct size socket. Put a bit of silicone grease on them to make it easier. They make a very definite snap when they connect properly.
Many thanks for wiper fix!!! You da man!!I remember this that a friend of mine posted on a sister sight.
