Just beat the old ones out with a hammer or sometimes I've used and air chisel with a socket on the end thats the right size, the shock of both these seems to work better than my press which sometimes squashes the ears on the arm. Or another way is to burn the rubbers out and cut the steal bit with a hacksaw. But beware some kits re use some metal parts. putting them in. clean them up, use lube, and again a hammer or a press this time, but be carefull not to squash the arms. Or just bring it here and I'll do it |

No I was going to but he had his new girlfriend with him so I thought I'd better not, no doubt he will pop in my workshop soon and then I'll tackle him about it The new bushes will make your car drive so much better, try to get as much castor in as possible, it will make the steering a tiny bit heavier and spin the wheel back too straight quicker, then just take a little play out of the steering box and she will drill like a new one |
