Hey guys got really smart low mileage mr260 st225 in perf blue. Mot advisory was on fromt control arm rear bushes.... Done these heaps of times on my e36/e46 bmws ive had!
Bought some purple powerflex ones .... How the bleeding heck do you get them in? I have used m16 thread bar, steam caps spacers, large washers etc etc, got them almost all the way in with about 5 mm left to go as the securing lip/step wont go past the fold in the bracket you press them into. Any idea welcome!

They are a total twat

When I did mine I used loads of copper grease, washing up liquid and a 10tonne press! Thought they were going to turn inside out before the lip went through the arm. You will need a press!

No nor me mate! Thinking of getting a 10t press for home now, got a 10t & 100t at work

When I did them on my pals ST i had to press them into the holder, continue pressing till they poked out the other side then press them back into the correct position.

Hope that makes sense, I've had a coiple of beers.
