4. OPERATION
4.1. REMOVING A BUSH (fig’s 1 & 2)
4.1.1. Screw the nut with washer attached (D) onto the short threaded portion of threaded rod (G). Slide the pushing cup (C) onto the threaded
rod in the orientation shown above in fig.1.
4.1.2. Push the threaded rod through the centre of the bush to be removed until the pushing cup bears against the bush.
4.1.3. Hold the assembly in place and slide the large static cup (A) onto the rod until it bears against the surface of the suspension arm as shown
above in fig.1.
4.1.4. Slide washer (E) onto the rod and retain the whole assembly by screwing the nut with washer (F) onto the threaded rod.
4.1.5. Hold nut D with a spanner and then place a second spanner over the nut with washer attached (F). This should preferably be a ratchet ring
spanner for ease of use and maximum accessibility. As the nut is turned extraction will commence as indicated in fig.2. Some considerable
pressure may need to be applied to initiate the first movement of the bush.As the bush leaves the suspension arm ensure that the assembly is
supported as it is likely to fall away from the suspension arm once the bush becomes loose.
4.1.6. Disassemble the extractor and dispose of the old bush in compliance with local authority waste disposal requirements.
4.2. INSERTING A BUSH (fig’s 3 & 4)
4.2.1. Screw the nut with washer attached (D) onto the short threaded portion of threaded rod (G). Slide the small static cup (B) onto the
threaded rod in the orientation shown above in fig.3.
4.2.2. Hold the assembly against the suspension arm so that the static cup (B) is aligned with the hole in the arm with the threaded rod sticking
through to the other side.
4.2.3. Slide the new bush onto the threaded rod and align it with the hole in the arm. Place the pushing cup (C) up against the bush and slide on the
washer (E). Retain the whole assembly by screwing on the nut with washer (F). Before commencing insertion ensure that the assembly is
aligned with the hole in the suspension arm as shown in fig.3.
4.2.4. Hold nut D with a spanner and then place a second spanner over the nut with washer attached (F). This should preferably be a ratchet ring
spanner for ease of use and maximum accessibility. As the nut is turned, insertion will commence as indicated in fig.4. Take care not to drive
the bush too far into the suspension arm. Cease insertion when the bush is fully inserted into the arm as shown in fig.4.
4.2.5. Disassemble the extractor and place the separate components in the case provided.
NOTE: A spare rod (G) is supplied in case of thread damage.
