Im taking it ive been sent the wrong mount

[172Ben]

Just taken my Dog bone mount off, taken the new mount out of the box.

And im assuming ive been sent the PH1 mount rather than the PH2, as i cant see how it will fit!

you need to press/drift the rubber mounts out of the alloy arm (will need to bend the steel seat first, so that it'll pass through the alloy)

 

[172Ben]

I understand that

Its just the size of the mount itself is hoooge in comparrison to the hole?

Section?

that rubber mount in the old arm, and the cage around in all hammers out
stick the mount flat on a vice and just hit the cage round that rubber out
all will then become obvious

Sorry

Make sense, so the mount comes out, and then the not so circular bit it sits in comes out aswell, leaving a nice big round hole?

 

[ditz]

yep you got it,, just lay the actual alloy arm flat on the edge of a vice, and whack the not so circular bit,, all comes out easy..

the rubber bushes are a bit of a tight fit in there but go in easy enough in a vice

 

[Henry]

it's circular - looks confusing as the rubber is mounted within a steel frame (which is the bit you knock out)

Sorry

Awww Xx

 

[172Ben]

Done That was nice and easy

Cheers for your help guys

The washer that come supplied do i use these on the big mount or the smaller mount??

 

[Henry]

can't remember, but is there a washer on the front one already?

 

[172Ben]

No, decided to put the washers on the front one, as it seems to sit better with.

All fitted now

 

[bmh.01]

Washer goes on the gearbox as you've done.

 

[Tucker]

how was the old bush that you took out ben?

that'll be what i did with mine as well then, thankfully rightly by the sounds of it

 

[172Ben]

how was the old bush that you took out ben?

Fooked mate, had play, but i think too much compared to normal.

Could push the rubber easily by hand.

Just taken for a test drive, what a difference! Gear changes feel tighter, and it seems to have helped with the 3rd gear crunch problem alot!

Good mod

Thank god i guessed right Could be bothered taking it off again now

 

[Jamesstone]

Mines just started to develop a crunch in 3rd! So what is it exactly that you have bought? Just the powerflex bushes for the original dogbone?

 

[172Ben]

Yeh just the kit from ktec
