Changing bushes

(1/6) > >>

bonio73:
How big a job would it be for me to replace worn existing bushes with Polybushes (or similar)?  Do I need any specialised equipment?  Would it just be easier/cheaper to let the garage do it?

a 25t press i use  :lol:
however most people burn the rubber bush off then cut the remaining steel sleiveings off afink
i did it the once, not again  :roll:

Take the arms off & take them to local garage.  They should be able to press out old & fit new bushes.  Recommend you change the A-frame ball joint too :shock:
