Front End Rebuild

hey guys, as some of you guys know i am about to rebuild the front suspension of my super beetle. I Have all the parts now, just trying to find the time to do it. I was wondering if anyone wanted to maybe help me install it due to me having a lack of tools. I may be able to do it this saturday but still not sure

Just let me know when and where

I have not worked with supers all that much but an extra set of hands cant hurt. Let me know I would love to come and help out.

We could probably do it here, if I get the bus fixed, right now its taking up all the prime real estate in the garage. If you come up with another location, I can bring all my super-front end rebuilding tools, including the ghetto homemade ones.

i suppose we could maybe do it at my house. My driveway is fairly level or we could do it in the garage. Darrell-do you have a hydraulic press to press the bushings in. I might be able to do it saturday if you guys arnt busy. i know renyolds is the next day. but we will talk thursday

Which bushings? If you are talking about the brass bushings for the tie rod flip, I pressed mine in with a vice. You just need to drill out the arms to 3/4" I think, to accept the bushings. I did not install the big brass control arm bushing when I did my rebuild, and it seems to be fine without it for now.

i was talking about the idler arm bushing, which might be the same thing
