For changing the bush or just replacing the whole item?
changing the bush Dave, i have got the old one out and read a few comments on the net that the easiest way to get the new one in is to stick it in the freezer over night (i dont have a puller btw)
Just get a long treaded bolt 2 large washers and 2 bolts and wind it in :)
[QUOTE=Jamest5r;695766]Just get a long treaded bolt 2 large washers and 2 bolts and wind it in :)[/QUOTE] so put the bolt through a washer, through the mount and bush then a washer and 2 nuts on the other end and just tightening it will force it through with no damage? :)

If you're using a bolt, you'll only need one nut, if you're using threaded rod, then you'll need 2 nuts, one for each end.
thanks guys!! thats my mission for 2moz sorted then hahahaha. check me out doing my own repairs! normally i just take her somewhere to get stuff fixed, but i have serviced her myself this weekend, oil, filter and plugs and now this! Its gonna snow tomorrow! ;)
just to check, defo wd40 and not washing up liquid? I would have thought it would be easier with that?
i.i.r.c. I used copper grease, but any lubricant that's not going to perish the bush would do.
Have u tried youtube
I think there is one on therec

A few good videos on youtube.com
ok, finding washers this big is proving a task hahahahah
[QUOTE=Spooky;695987]ok, finding washers this big is proving a task hahahahah[/QUOTE] Doesn't have to be washers - got any old metal plate? Drill holes in that - you only want a flat surface that can push against the bush face, just try to ensure that the surface is bigger that the bush face or else it'll damage the bush.
