I got my front built with my spare set. I'm having a bit of hard time taking the eyelet off. I had plastic shock clamp and it didn't work. Ordered aluminum Fox shock clamp on Amazon. Arrived tomorrow, hoping that will help.

I even used a blow torch trying to heat/break the locktite and it didn't work. The bushing was surprisingly easy to remove/insert with a vice.

I have 1.5in spacer in stock wheels.
I’ll try and do a quick video on removing the eyelets next week. Once you get enough heat in it not a whole lot of torque is required to break it free. I’ve done it with both a map gas torch and a torch that threads onto a standard camp stove propane canister. The map gas one is much quicker.

That would be very helpful to see, as the unknown difficulty of doing the job is a hold up to purchasing.
