Default Reducer Bushing

Is it possible to remove the reducer bushing in the rear or the cylinder head and move it to the front? Does it take a reverse bit to remove it? Thanks Jamie

I had to install 2 in my afr heads on the accessory sides of the heads, summit sells them for 5-6 bucks, just order one from there

While you are there at summit get a different a/c delete kit. I would get FRPP's for around $40. Relocates the p/s pump to where the a/c was. It looks alot better IMO.

IMO the a/c delete pulley is ugly and pointless. The more pulleys in the system, the more friction, the more friction, the more parasitic loss of power.....but the loss is minimal....oo well to each his own.
