Re: Rear suspension bush leaking something

I agree with Criss, its technically not tough at all, any engineering shop or even agricultural fitters would have the equipment to do the job for you if you removed the axle, alterntively contact your dealer and ask if they will remove and press in the bushes only, leaving you to remove the axle and refit it.

Well apparently it's not technically tough at all. Ha!
Give NumanR a buzz and he'll fit them in his coffee break probably

Have you got the old bushes out? The new bushes are obviously over tolerance fit as they don't need to be that monstrously tight so I'd make some clearance by opening out the housings

not got the old bush out, thats the problem, they try, they wont move and then they say they dont want to butcher it as they might not get the new one in.
