Stuck lower knuckle bushing.

How can I remove the lower knuckle bushing on my 2150.
Have tried to rotate the hexagon with all the brute force available to me, even applied moderate heat.
Is it pressed in?

It is screwed in, right hand threads, but is now rusted as well. You will have to apply a good bit of heat to the thinnest part of the knuckle at the bottom. You will also be wanting a good stout 3/4 inch drive socket set! Good luck.

Thanks for the information.
I assumed that somewhere in the world there would be someone who knew.
Internet is fantastic.

for including your '47 Custom Super Clipper Eight Limousine in the Registry. Very surprised about the cost of the body restoration and trust that someone here can come up with a good, readily affordable trunk lid for you!

Nice looking engine. On the block below the head parting line check within the boxed area for a stamped number -- Usually was on a smoothed section but sometimes partially went into the rougher casting. It could be faint or partially covered by now if the block was prepped well for painting.

I was very surprised too. He gave a prise estimate of 46 000-52000 USD to make the car ready to drive home. We even agreed that it would have full tank. (No written agreement was made). He then removed the vital parts that were rusty so the body could not be moved from the jig he made.
Then he stopped working on it but when asked he would make it ready for 52000 USD. After a couple of years I gave up and we agreed that he finish the bodywork and on a hourly rate so I could take it home. That?s how it got so expensive.

Hope there is anybody out there with a spare trunk lid. The clutch on my farm tractor failed and i massacred the lid between the tractor and the wall it was leaned on.
