Quick question, when fitting the wishbone powerflex buses does all of the old bush including this cast metal section need to be removed before installing the powerflex bush? Because of the taper either it doesnt look like it can be pressed out and will have to cut it out. Thanks, dean.

 

Yes mate, it all has to come out. we chopped it out with a screwdriver and hammer. Once you start breaking it up, it comes out quite easy though.

Tip for you though, when pressing the new bushes in, be careful because the edge of the bush carrier chops into the bush material.
We found that if you wrapped a large jubilee clip around the leading edge of the bush and compressed the lip enough to get it past the edge of the bush carrier, it slides in beautifully. use plenty of the supplied grease.
The side of the bush with the cut-out faces the wishbone body. It not obvious, but it would be a real pain to get out if you fit it in the wrong way

 

Great advice thankyou, got them out at work today, wishbones are fully stripped down and sand blasted ready for powder coating. Thanks again.

 

Quick update, got them all fitted, I sand blasted the wishbones and had them powder coated, fitted a new ball also

 

Good work bet its a lot easier with all the right tools
