<VV> suspension rebuild

[kovacsmj]

Chris,
 Slotting it probably won't work as it may be rusted solid. Not to
mention hard to get at. If I had that situation, I would remove the
offending brake cylinder and subject it to v high heat blue white flame
and then try the good ol' vice grips. Of course be sure you remove the
guts and have it relatively dry as fire is not the thing you want to
see. 

 Front, I think, is easier than the back, but no picnic in either case.
Replace all the bushings. 

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

Please excuse my fuzzieness.  I had a surgery today.  The vicoden is 
playing with my brain


In chasing out my brake issues I noticed the rubber bushing on the end
of 
the stabilizer bar is falling off.

It is orig equipment, or at least from 72.

  The rest looks good.  And it handels fine.  I am thinking replace all
the 
bushings on the bar.

Anything else I should examine before ordering the parts.

Also I broke the bleeder valve on a wheel cyl.  Damn he man arms.  I was

thinking of  slotting the bleeder and trying to salvage it.

At best I will be in  the garage this weekend to do the inspection.
