Alrite guys.
recently been advised to change the bushes in the hocky sticks, Cant fined any info in the SH of any bushes being changed so its probably a good job.
me and uncle john are going to have a go at it next week at some point, It looks fairly straight forward but I was just wondering if anyone had any tips to press the old bushes out??

thanks guys

You will find that the rear radius arm bushes at the axle end are very hard to press out.

IME it is often less hassle to burn them out and then cut out the outer part of the bush.

lee celtic:
I chain drilled the rubber out bashed out the inner tube then put a hacksaw blade through the hole and connected it back up to the saw and cut the outer ring of the bush then bashed that out . Then fitted polybushes (they are easy to do without a press)

thanks guys the hack saw idea sounds like the way forward, do the pollybush ones just go in easy after ??

lee celtic:
genuine bushes need to be pressed (hard) in but the polybushes come in two pieces that you push in with your fingers then tap a steel tube down the middle with a light tap from a mallet  ;)
