ok so i am doing my very first performance mod now to the RA and all the shift bushings are on but the small under the hood....... the old bushing ripped apart and left the brass sleeve on the pin and now it just won't come off...... vice grips, rust breaker, alittle heat from a heat gun but nothing has worked yet how do you get brass off of a steel pin????

 

man that sucks , try some liquid wrench , if all else fails pray.....

 

i had the brass shifter bushings and had that problem.. had to take it to a shop to get it removed. Not sure what they did though.

 

PB blaster and just let it soak. Taking it off with vice grips will probably just make the problem worse, since you could crush the brass collar on there. If that doesn't work, cut it off with a dremel or similar rotary tool. Or you could try to wiggle a screwdriver in under the collar and see if you can carefully pry it up.

 

+1 on the PB Blaster. That stuff works wonders on frozen bolts.

 

HA HA did one better took a torch to it...... remember that brass exspands very fast, then took a vice grips and came off like butter. and no i didn;t burn anything in my car i took the plate off ........ super clean shifting now.

 

I swear I was at work this moring and typed "use a blow torch with a number 6 tip" in the reply box. The only reason I didn't post it is because I was being a smart ***

 

i plumber told me to and my martial arts job......... told him if i burnt my car down i would karate kick his ***. but yeah
