Whats the best way to remove them cut, burn, beat them out etc

any tips please

 

if the axle is out cut the lip off the top with a saw & then use a big hammer

 

if it's in the car:

put a jack under the beam to take the wieght
undo plate

undo big bolt
let jack down
drop beam
put big fuck off socket between beam bush and car body
jack car back up again
bush will pop out
if not, apply exess weight to car erar seat above bush

refitting

put bush into slot
apply copius ammounts of copper slip
jack bush back into beam
if stuck, again, apply extra weight via the rear seat

bush pops in no problem

 

matt u got solid mounts ?

 

i hope he has

them made a world of diffrence in the nail

 

yeah got solid ones off b9kos

dojj that all sounds far to easy

 

Nah he's right, they really are easy. If your cutting the lip off then its a case of sharp shocks ie hammer to remove. If in situe just constant pressure pushing against it till it just pops clear. I remember years ago when Sierra's were common place on the roads, we had a proper tool for the job as changing the bushes happened quite often. I know this aint in your case as your using solid mounts but, I wouldnt use copper grease on rubber mounts....i'd use rubber grease (red stuff used in brake systems) insted personaly.

 

yeh i hope so i gt sum goin in mine next week and gripper diff shortly so that shou;d help to

 

i'd also invest in that poly mount for the diff that mike r now can get for reasonable money

 

are they on his website ?

 

Now that I deffo have to agree with...the difference one of those mounts made to mine was unreal, well worth doing even if they were double the asking price imo

 

i found them looking at a merkur site years ago, he sorted out some sort of deal to get them

unfortunatly, he knows where it is on the site but i can't find it

 

any idea of cost

As I am well skint this month as the car is having a respray + the cost of the solid mounts ect ect it all adds up

 

Around £100 iirc, didnt get mine from Mike Rainbow though so dont knwo how much his are?
