Default Replacing pivot bushings and radius arm bushings

I've been wanting to replace the front suspension bushings in my 95' 5.0 2WD for awhile now. Went to the local Pep Boys and they had everything in stock! (amazing!) After looking at posts and assesing the truck, decided to remove the whole I-beam/radius assembly. This way I didn't have to deal with drilling out rivets and the pivot bushings pressing could be done.. (not on my back!)

Got the whole assembly out with ease! Took it over to the stand-up press, pressed in the new pivot bushing and was ready to put the thing install (with new radius bushing) in a little over an hour!

The most difficult was getting the pivot bolt to align. With the help of a friend, the second one was easier!
