3.1.2. Using a 24mm spanner, turn the nut clockwise. The extractor

will start to extract the bush through the housing (Fig.2).

3.1.3. Keep turning until the bush has been extracted all the way out

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

away when the bush is fully removed.

NOTE! If any undue resistance is felt, remove the assembly and check

everything is correctly aligned. The bush will only push out in one

direction.

3.2. Installing new bush.

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

3.2.2. Assemble the installation (gold) set on the housing as in

Fig.4 - viewed from below, and Fig.5. Adaptor (D) is threaded

facing inwards. Pass the bolt through the housing from the

rear and then through the bush and then position the Adaptor

To facilitate correct positioning of the bush, the installation

adaptor (C) has 2 recesses that align with the face of the new

bush (Fig.3). The bush should then be aligned in the housing so

that the rubber locator on the bush is facing directly downwards

(Fig.4). Thread the nut (E) onto the bolt and wind it up to the

adaptor. Double check to make sure that everything is aligned

and that the bush is sitting squarely against the housing.

3.2.3. Using a 24mm spanner, turn the nut clockwise. The bush will

start to be pushed into the housing.

NOTE! If any undue resistance is felt, remove the assembly and

check that everything is correctly aligned.

reaches the housing, resistance will be felt and the bush is fully

installed (Fig.6).
