Tools needed for the job

[mr.valver]

Got some parts to fit up on Tuesday, Powerflex bushes in wish bones/arb/dog bone, Ktec Engine mounts and rear discs and pads.

Normally I would have my lasses car to blast out and pick up any parts I need or forgot while my car is in pieces. Stranded this time.

Just asking for advice on anything I might need bar the normal stuff, WD40, spanners, hammers etc etc.

Best way to get the bushes out of the various parts?

 

[.GAZ.]

I have the same parts to fit with no tools lol!

I know I will forget something and be stuck for hours twiddling my thumbs. Sods Law!!

got to tack weld the bushes into the wishbones

 

[mr.valver]

So I was reading, do you just cut the old bushes out with a blade or is there a more scientiffic way?

 

[Tigger]

Was thinking of getting the bushes done too sometime in mine, is it worth the hassle? lol

Mc Hammer will do the job, easy.

If your going to do it the right way, use a hydrolic press and push them out with that, if not, find a good fitting socket and use a hammer to get the bushes out

A hammer knocks the old bushes out no problem, and a vice presses them in, just make sure they're square. As has already been said, tack weld the outer sleeves to the wishbone also.

It isn't much hassle, but I totally think it's worth it :approve:
