just loob it up and it'll go in fine haha.
Neil clear your inbox fella
Sorted!
Told you it was easy
I always have time for you mate... Shame we don't live closer to each other or I would be down there giving you a hand!
Glad my little guide helped you out, you may be able to tell I was tired as I couldn't remember what things were called lol!
With the powder coating make sure the threads inside the steering rack brackets are masked off. Mine were coated and I had to strip the paint out of them which was a right pain. Also I had every inch or the wishbones coated even the inside of the metal selves, this made it slightly harder to press the purple bush in and made it even harder to push the metal thing inside the bush, just loob it up and it'll go in fine haha.
Oh and one more thing can you take a picture of how the inner arb bush looks after it's been re attached after coating
Got your message mate. My phone doesn't let me reply so have text you.
Catch up properly soon?

Neil, did it take you long to drop the subframe? I'd like to get mine off to clean it up and have it finished (just boring black, no funky colours I'm afraid)
Going from the progress photo, it seemed to be a fairly straight forward enough job!
Yeah mate its not as bad as i thought it was going to be, mainly down to the fact i had the directions from gray and crispy. Its all nuts and bolts so isn't too bad but i had an impact gun also which sped things up a fair bit... The only real pains are the top steering rack bolts (through the subframe), the ARB, the exhaust and its heatshield get in the way, i have the use of the right tools and i still needed a fair bit of patience.
Don't let it deter you, if i can do it anyone can, just don't try to rush it.
hey mr,if you any probs with your bushs give me a bell, you can come use are 5 tonne press
what colour did you go for ?
cheers mate. we were using tony/lukes 30 tonne press, its just the shame of the wishbones mixed with the set heights of the actual press meant it was impossible, we tried heating them etc etc but nowt....lol
right if you get them back pop down to work, im working onthe focus all weekend. are press is 50 tonne and 8ft tall tractor job, pushes bushes out like i push out the soft bron stuff. i got the oxy gun there too. all the gear, no idea....
