JordanEP91 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Right lads, having major problems fitting my powerflex front arm bushes, I can get the bushes in then I try to press the rod through and it goes through the first bush then doesn't want to go any further, any easier way to do this? If someone could help me that would be great, Right lads, having problems fitting my powerflex front arm bushes, I can get the bushes in then I try to press the rod through and it goes through the first bush then doesn't want to go any further, any easier way to do this?

AdamB Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Have you got a C clamp? You could put one end on the bush and one end on the rod and press it through. Providing its alligned correctly that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Tried that mate, I get so far then one of the bushes try to turn inside out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzagee Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Sounds like there's excess rubber from the old bush get a round file make sure it not ruff And the most important part plenty of lube no women like a dry #### Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Ah right I see, as Gee said use plenty of copper grease/lithium to get it to slide through mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 The amount of grease I have used mate is unreal and still no luck I have even tried the press and still doesn't want to go, I can get the bushes in then when it comes to putting the rod through it doesn't want move then trys to push the other bush out, I have come very close then the one trys to turn inside out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hmm have you tried swapping the bushes round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yeah mate, I can push the bushes in by hand with a struggle but they go then there's just no hope with the rod, I can start the rod by hand then it doesn't want to go in straight, I have fitted all my other bushes with no issues Quote Link to post Share on other sites
