Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I was under the impression when removing the old bushes to cut out the rubber and metal inserts. However this leaves the powerflex bush loose... Quote
JamesD89 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Think there are 2 different sizes mate, mine were tight as after fitting Quote
Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 These came off a glanza so thought theyd be fine Quote
5e colin Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 the metal sleeve needs to be kept mate its a cunt of a job to get al the ruber out of the bush your fucked now you need to buy 2 new sleeves/bushes or get machine shop to make 2 sleeves Quote
Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 I was told on here to cut the whole lot out lol. Yeh pretty fucked now Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I was told on here to cut the whole lot out lol. Yeh pretty fucked now Don't believe everything you read online!!! Edited April 1, 2015 by WallaceGlanza Quote
Idrees Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Instructions are included with the bushes which state to remove the bush only, and not the sleeve. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Problem with being cheap and buying second hand Quote
Idrees Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 We've all been there at some point mate. It might be easier and cheaper to buy a UK spec axle and start again, as I'm sure you've removed your ABS anyway? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Wallaceglanza is gonna cut the ends of the trailing arm off and send me them. I can then get the sleeves pressd out and hopefully pressed into my axle. Then a bit of weld to hold them in place Quote
Calum122 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Annoying Ollie, But a lesson for me at least. Sucks I Know, Quote

Calum122 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 No, but reading more into stuff rather than just hacking away, which is what I usually do :\ Quote
