just have to wine here for a second.....never ever again will i do bushings on a fiero unless my life depends on it.....day 2 and i finally am down to one wheel left....if it can go wrong on these cars it has on this one....if its metal on metal its rust welded together and is not coming apart no matter what.....right down to the rear lower control arms rear mount was completely shotand half was missing while the other half broke....hopefully tomorrow i can get the last wheel pulled apart and start cleaning stuff and replacing the ball joints and bushings and do some painting to spiffy stuff up...then sunday replace all the brakes and lines and put it back together....so deff all original stuff on a almost 30 yr old car with prob over 200000 miles on everything underneeth
I feel the same way about doing a clutch pedal, I just did one the other day. I would rather part out a Fiero before doing another clutch pedal. Poly is no biggie to me... But then again, I have probably done it too many times.

I installed new clutch pedal and bushings in the SBC car I had and was amazed at how easy it was.. now ball joints, that is whole other story..

That's one advantage of living south of the "Manson-Nixon" (Robin Williams) line. I have only ever had one bolt that could not be removed. That one was on a Formula I parted out that had spent most of its life on Tennessee dirt roads. (OTOH, I must have knocked loose about 10 lbs of dust.)
well day 3 and have all the suspension out and bushings removed.....several hours of scrubbing undercoating off off everything tomorrow i can paint press in the new bushings and reassemble....then i just need to finish the day with replacing all the brake lines and installing the new brakes and calipers and drop the tank...it should be another long day again
