Removing Front Suspension Bushes

[Gerald-TVR]

Is there a special knack to this or do I just apply large hammer to drive out old bushes?

[TonupS2]

Used a large vice for mine the hammer thingy didn't work for me.

In a vice, get a 100mm long 12mm bolt with a nut part way up, put it in the bush and a couple of wallops with a lump hammer and it pops straight out.

Thanks Mark - had looked at you web site was looking for an easier way maybe

Not sure what size the bushes are on the S but this might help.

Made removing the bushes on my Griff realtively straight forward.

If the S bush dimensions are different (and it's the diameter that's the important bit) it should be easy enough to adapt the drawing and get one made up. The principle would still work.

There's no outer metal on the S bushes - the rubber is directly in the housing - so no accuracy is required - just a big wallop!

and a big hammer for the big wallop to use

Mark, it looks like your washing machine is going to get a surprise bolt through the door left a bit ...right a bit FIRE

Its the tumble drier and hasn't been used since the TIV arrived - my victory over SWMBO as I won't allow the moisture in the garage.

Can't believe she has let me get away with that one

The money you have saved through not using the drier will have paid for the new bushes so a real win/win!!

PS Bet I couldn't get away with that one ...
