They can be torched out if the guy with the torch has the talent to do so and goes easy with them.   I did it once years ago, but it's tricky and easy to mess up.

He quoted me $250.00 each. Thats for all new e brakes and springs. bearings and bushings and cleaned and repainted. The cheapest others I found were at least $400 so not too bad. Hoping to have car finished by Puyallup show

Thanks for information guys! I have been doing some stuff to the Blacray. I had thought when I got the motor stuff done I would venture back that way and put new bushings in the T arms.

For that price I think that maybe next winters mod and have both sides rebuilt.

Guys I have known Jim Stevens for 15 yrs. He is very knowledgable about corvettes and has a large inventory of parts. He also does rear ends, steering boxes, along with trailing arms. I am also pulling my arms to be rebuilt for the 2nd time by Jim.
