: Body Bushing Removal Problem yellowcar72 Dec 29th, 02, 10:38 PM I started swapping in new bushings in my 70 wagon but ran into a problem. Ive got all the fasteners loosened up but i cant get the frame to seperate at the #4 position just forward of the rear wheels. Am i missing something or is it just being a pain in the hindquarters. YenkoChevelle69 Dec 30th, 02, 2:27 AM Pain in the ass would be my guess. Do you see anything hanging up? Such as a brace of some sort or a brake line or something? May just be a booger. I guarantee it will be something stupid. Heat it up if all else fails. I assume you got all the bolts out. ------------------ 1969 Chevelle Malibu 307 Powerglide 10 bolt 2nd owner All original with 2 inches of documentation.

I forgot these when I replaced mine and it drove me nuts. ------------------ aka Scott B. 1967 Malibu 406 cid / 350 TH Under Constuction riskyvt Dec 30th, 02, 11:17 AM Provided you have the body bushing bolts removed, there is nothing that should prevent the body/frame seperation. Fuel lines, brake lines and tank vent line all stay with the frame. Other than un-hooking the fuel lines at the tank, steering shaft, and brake lines from the M/S to the distribution block, the body should seperate. ------------------ Gregg Haskin 72 Chevelle SS 71 Pro Touring Chevelle ZZ502 Crated RATs in both TEAM CHEVELLE #726 ACES #4486 “What the heck are all these extra nuts & bolts for?” My 72 Chevelle SS Restoration Website: www.72ChevelleSS.com (http://www.72ChevelleSS.com) My 71 Chevelle Pro-Touring restoration website: www.71protouringchevelle.com (http://www.71ProTouringChevelle.com) BillsCamino Dec 30th, 02, 11:26 AM And don't forget the E-brake cable and speedometer (if it still has a tranny). cperrell Dec 30th, 02, 1:27 PM frame may also be twisted a little or jackstands not on level ground, causing the frame to flex up and stay in contact with the body. ------------------ Charles Perrell cperrell@yahoo.com 65 malibu SS Convertible 283 2v powerglide | ||
