Couple of quick questions!

[Growler]

Thanks for that!

It pains me to say, not only do I NOT have a vice, I don't know anyone with a vice either!

I'll think of something!

Cheers!

Threaded rod and some thick washers/sockets either side should work but will be more fiddly

No worries.
If you need any other maintenance subjects scanned, let me know, I've got the hang of it now.

Hi Bushwhacker,

That book looks well thumbed, did'nt Land Rover? (swearing now)
recomend a tool called a 'bushwhacker' for removing suspension
bushes years ago???

Gman.

I eventually managed to get them out using, as Albannach suggested, a drill, hacksaw, sharpened (with a grinder) chisel and a BFG.

Nightmare!

The bl00dy things were welded to the wishbone with corrosion!

I'm betting that getting the new aftermarket new ones in ain't gonna be no picnic either!

Yeah, it's looking a bit 'dog eared', it's getting on for seven years old now!

Don't know about a tool for removing bushes from Land Rovers, I thought people just waited for the metal to rust from around them and they fell out!

'Bushwhacker' was my 'handle' back in the late seventies/early eighties when the 'illegal' CB radios were all the rage, can't remember where I got it from though.
Remember 'Buzby' and those little yellow GPO vans?

Spray them with WD40 and they'll push in easy.

Phew!

I haven't got much knuckle skin left for another marathon session with 2 Waxoyled wishbones.

Thanks as ever Vince, appreciate it!

Much Much easier with a vice. Remember you'll need a spacer either on the bush or at the back of the wishbone to allow the outer bit of the bush to seat fully.

Told you you'd hurt yourself.

Does the spacer come with the bush kit?



This is the first time I've done this mate, could you explain?

Thanks,

Gary

PS Would you happen to know what the torque is for the nut that holds the wheel on is?
