Caltracs Bars - Mexican Tips
I just finished installing the caltracs on my truck with 4/6 drop (flip kit). Thanks to Sam88Gta1, he gave me some ideas to use with whatever tools i had and this is how i installed them 
Tip #1 - Use a 3 jaw puller and an old harmonic balancer bolt to push out the bushing on the leaf spring. Fits perfect in there and takes out the rubber and metal bushing with one pass.
Tip #2 - Using a dremel, hacksaw, or sawsall, cut the sleeve in 2 pieces or slits along the edges. Use a hammer and chisel (or screwdriver) to bend it and stab the screwdriver thru the sleeve. Should come out once its all beat up.
Tip #3 - Spray some wd40 or grease on the leafspring eye.
Tip #4 - Use a long bolt with big and thick washer and nut with a big and thick washer to install the new solid bushing. Take your time and do it slowly so it wont go in crooked.
