Yup, getting very close now.

Last night was another good work night. I got the new ball joints put in.





And the new poly bushings.







My 'press'. I used one of the adapters from the ball joint press to hold the bushing. Even then they both went in cocked. After retrying several times I finally just kept pressing it in after it cocked. It eventually popped in and through.







So, I got those back on the car, bolted everything up and was very proud of myself. Then, I saw the CV axles laying on the ground... DOH! Off some parts came, and I put those in and buttoned things back up again.

Now, I'm just waiting on my Honda MTF to arrive so I can fill up the trans and fire it up and make sure all is well.
