Help old bush removal

(1/2) > >>

snezza69:
Never removed a rubber bush before (from the radius arm) will need to use heat (I have a blow torch).  How should I approach this?  Is it simply a case of burning out the old rubber?

burgerman:
in my oponion, much more accurate n safe to use a press to remove and refit the bushes,  but im sure others will tell you otherwise ?   only my two pence worth, hope it helps, good luck

It aint getting the old ones out that's the problem . . . . it's getting the new ones back in - thats when the press comes in handy :wink:

you can burn,press or cut the old ones out, pressing is quicker-burning not good for your health, cutting is slow
as said if fitting new rubber bushes you,ll need some sort of press but as your fitting poly,s i believe, you should be ok
when i did mine i borrowed a mates bush wacker bush removal tool, a joy to use i did the whole car in a morning no probs but then all my bolts came undone easily :D
