Great write up heath, I have the blacks with 60k on them, no noise ever.I used an axle nut socket as a puller to remove the front cab mounts , put a long gr 8 bolt in the rear from the top after soaking and hit with a big sledge, figured it would takemany whacks to remove, one did it. I like your puller, thin and functional
The sleeves do not need to be pressed back in , that swadgeing procedure was to keep the mounts from falling out of the frame at the factory when they rolled it all around, upside down, I saw pics once , cant remember where.
