3.1. Removal of bush.

3.1.1. Undo the allen bolt (5) and remove it, plus the alignment pin (8)

and installation ring (9) from the tool.

3.1.2. Position the tool as in Fig.1. Loosen off the 14mm bolts and

adjust the hooks so that they securely grip onto the trailing arm

(Fig.2), re-tighten the bolts. Ensure that the face of the pusher

is centrally lined up with the bush.

3.1.3. Using a 24mm spanner, turn the force screw clockwise. The

pusher will start to push the bush from its housing.

3.1.4. Keep turning until the bush has been pushed all the way out

of the housing. Take care as the bush and assembly may fall

away when the bush is fully removed.

NOTE! If any undue resistance is felt, check that everything is

correctly aligned. The bush will only push out in one direction.

3.2.1. Before installing a new bush, clean the inside of the housing

thoroughly.

3.2.2. Re-assemble the alignment pin (8), the installation ring (9) and

manufacturer’s service instructions.

3.2.4. Fit the assembly over the bush and onto the housing as in Fig.3.

Loosen off the 14mm bolts and adjust the hooks so that they

securely grip onto the trailing arm, re-tighten the bolts. The

sighting windows in the sides of the unit allow for checks on the

bush to ensure that it is still in the correct position whilst

installing.
