I think I know where I can borrow a hydraulic puller.  My main concern is now heat affecting the seals.  How resilient are they?

I had the bottle on mine till it was almost glowing.  The seals gave up six months later, I have no idea if they would have gone anyway.  Luck of the draw I suppose!

Good luck with it!

tip..if using a set of oxycet bottles, dont use a cutting/heating torch  :wink:
use a welding torch as you can concentrate the heat then with a fine flame  :wink:  not a huge flame that burns everything in sight

mattyme.....i had the same problem  :evil:  :evil:
i cured it by swinging off the nut with a 5ft bar and then fitting another locking tab and then another nut and swinging off that one aswel  :twisted:
o not to mention locktight aswel  :twisted:

aint come undone yet  :twisted:

i be dammed the day they have come off tho  :cry:

dan

mattyme:
id best go lookin for a 5 ft bar then... and somebody with a bit more weight behind them than me!! lol

i still have to jump about in the shower to get wet!! lol which is not a bad thing till you need to lift a disco with a hilift jack... i can swing on the handle!!! lmao

Can I just throw a spanner in.  ANy evidence of heat being applied to a cast component in the steering or suspension is an MOT failure.
