DaddyDutch Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi folks,As above, failed n.c.t on rear bush (passo side) as well as other things. So I thought this'd be the best time to put on my Whiteline anti lift kit. Got the wishbones (both sides) off ok, the front bushes took some time, but came out eventually.Here comes the problem!!!!!Burnt the rear bush off easy enough, now I'm left with the Crush Tube (metal sleeve) that's on over the arm on the rear of the wishbone. I need to get this off , for it to fit into the polybush in the A.L.K.Anybody done this before??Or got any good tips on how to get it off??Cheers,Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) metsl hacksaw it of at an angle dude,being careful not to cut into the wishbone,then hammer and chisel to pry of the weakend and cut "sleve". works for sure and as far as im aware one of the only ways.good luck Edited August 18, 2013 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaddyDutch Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Got this all sorted a while back. Went at it on an angle with the grinder & slowly cut through it. Should have pics & video somewhere. I'll see if I can find them & post them up. Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
