1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION
 Warning! Failure to adhere to safety and warning instructions may result in personal injury or
damage which would invalidate the warranty. The bush extraction and insertion screw maximum
recommended torque is 180Nm. Exceeding this torque value may shorten the life of the thrust screw
and distort other components. The thrust screw is considered to be a consumable item and is NOT
covered under warranty. Always lubricate the threads male and female with a molybdenum/copper
based grease after removing from the carry case.
Suitable for the removal/installation of the rear trailing arm mounting bushes on Ford vehicles. Can be used in situ without removing the
arm from the vehicle. Also suitable for some Volvo vehicles that share the same Ford platform. Supplied in carry-case.

5.1 NOTE! Illustrations hereafter are with a section of the trailing arm removed
from the vehicle and are all "R" (offside) assembly. Refer to manufacturer's
service manual, or proprietary manual when using these instructions.
5.1.1 Jack up the vehicle, placing the jack clear of the rear suspension allowing it
to swing down.
5.1.2 Support the rear suspension whilst removing the trailing arm bush mounting
  nuts,boltsandwashers.Unclipthehandbrakehoseandassociatedxings.
It may be necessary to remove further fastenings to allow the trailing arm
to fully sweep beneath the vehicle, enabling maximum access and
clearance for the bush extraction tool. Continue supporting the trailing arm
and controlling during lowering.
5.1.3 With the area around the suspension now clear we suggest a thorough
  cleantoavoidaccumulateddebrisinterferringwithprecisiontting 
  processes.Sprayingaproprietory'freerelease'uidontothebushsleeve
and housing may assist with removal in 5.1.7.
5.1.4 Note the orientation of the existing bush before removal. The method of
marking is best decided by the engineer. A scribed line on the bush
sleeve><and a mirrored orientation mark on the housing would give an
accurate orientation, for example see Fig.7. See also the manufacturer's
instructions.
5.1.5 Offer the 15mm 'C' ring on to the pressed steel housing, aligning the gap
with the handbrake cable bracket. This will be held in place (Fig.8) by the
three permanent magnets inserted in the ring. Ensure it is seated correctly
on a grit free face.
5.1.6 Access and adequate clearance is essential for offering the bush press
assembly over the trailing arm and bush housing. Weave the bottom plate
end over the "Tee" plate (Fig.9) and locate the counterbore with the 'C' ring
(Fig.10). Continue to support the opposite end with your hand (Fig.11).
It may be necessary to disassemble and reassemble the press
frame insitu when access is limited.
5.1.7 Two people are now recommended, with one continuing to support the
press frame and the other positioning the adaptor (Fig.12), stepped end
inside the bush sleeve. The shoulder of the stepped end will offer thrust
to the steel bush sleeve. Please note for the removal of the bush, 360°
orientation of the adaptor is not important and the side 'depth control legs'
  arenottted.Thesecondpersoncannowwindinthethrustscrew
ensuring concentricity and squareness of both the press frame and the
cylindrical adaptor. With a 16mm socket increase the torque and observe
the bush sleeve projection from the housing, through to removal. Excessive
torque, above 180NM, is not envisaged, but if this occurs, stop and check
alignments. There may be some resistance initially. Continued support to
the press is required throughout, especially when the bush is removed
from the housing as the bush is then free to fall. Remove the old bush, the
press frame and prepare details for insertion of a new bush assembly. An
"exploded" view (Fig.13) supports actions shown in (Fig.8) through (Fig.12)

6.1 NOTE! Illustrations hereafter are with a section of the trailing arm removed from the vehicle and are all "R" (offside) assembly. Refer to
manufacturer's service manual, or proprietary manual when using these instructions.
6.1.1 Cleantheboreofpressedsteelbushhousingofanyresidualoilorgrit.Nolubricantor'freereleaseuid'istobepresentonthebush
sleeve or the housing bore.
6.1.2 Placethenewbush"Tee"plateinsidetheadaptorandlocatethebushsleeveoverreduceddiameterandshoulder.Itwillonlytsquarely
one way. The slots in the cylinder are offset about the axis, with the smallest adaptor segment the same side as the rivet stud shown in
(Fig.14). Clamp the depth control side legs (Fig.14) using the supplied M8 screws with a 6mm hexagon key. The legs should be
symmetricalaboutthexinghole,butitisworthcheckingthatthereisequalprojectiontoobtaineventhrust.Checkthatthebushis
gripped and that datums (Fig.7) are clearly marked.
6.1.4 Place the 35mm 'C' ring on to the trailing arm (Fig.16), rotate the ring to clear the handbrake bracket. The four integral permanent magnets
will hold the ring in place.
6.1.5 Two people are now recommended, with one placing the adaptor and bush in (Fig.14) over the housing bore. See the orientation datums
for correct alignment (Fig.7). The second person can offer the press frame over the entire group of items shown in (Fig.16) ensuring the
bottom plate locates over the "C" ring. The second person can now wind in the thrust screw ensuring concentricity and squareness of
both the press and the adaptor. With a 16mm socket increase the torque and observe the bush sleeve progress through to correct depth
insertion. Excessive torque, above 180NM, is not envisaged, but if his occurs, stop and check alignments. Observe closely the depth
control legs, when they touch the trailing arm face resistance will increase abruptly, the bush is now fully inserted, see (Fig.15) telescopic
view. DO NOT attempt to tighten any further.
6.1.6 With possibility of heavy objects falling, special caution required whilst unscrewing the press and removing the entire kit.
6.1.7 Clean and lubricate before returning the kit to the carry case.
6.1.8 Referto5.1.1,5.1.2andmanufacturer'sorproprietarymanualtoretthesuspension,trailingarm,handbrakecableandreturnthevehicle
to the road for test drive.

misalignment and concentricity in operation, included to prevent damage.
7.3 Before returning the kit to the carry case smear blackened components and unpainted surfaces with an oiled cloth.
7.4 To avoid condensation store indoors with carry case closed.
