Who knows, perhaps they even machine them to fit at Fiat. That would explain a lot as there's no way the tool shown in Davren's post above for the Bravo would be strong enough to overcome the appalling interference fit
Random question, with car in the air how long should it take to do this job?
Hello, did you get the info you needed to make a puller, please say yes! only cos I'm really impatient and have my stilo in pieces on the floor!!! I am a mechanic and measuring the bushes etc is no prob(using digi caliper), got my bushes from shop4parts, they look solid, and a quick! measure says same size as the hole!(watch this space!), post back, pretty please! ta.Hi,
i have access to a full machine shop and i,m willing to make a bespoke puller etc for the job,the boss won't mind coz thats me.
It is a job that sooner or later i will have to do on my MW as it has 110k on the clock.
So if anyone is willing to measure the bush diameter, the length and i take the rest of the sizes off my MW.
it might be a possiblity that if it is really slick you might nearly be able to do it situ ie just drop it off the bushes to be replaced.
I am guessing that it would have to be hydraulic which in itself wouyld be no problem as you could use an ""enerpac" ram and pump.
It could then be passed round to whoever is doing the job next, what do people think to that?
i,m all for helping folk out , like so many others on here.
I guess i could machine the bushes as well if we could decide on the actual interference fit. I,m guessing that if the bush is around 75mm diameter that .05mm would be more than enough.
So guys i will look forward to your thoughts and ideas
Cheers for now

Good moaning(not a spelling mistake), Hello all, does anyone know if this crazy axle set up has changed on the later models, love the MW, beginning to loath the rear end! If you look at the angle of the bushes when renewed they are already under a stupid amount of twist!!(deep breaths!) Oh well! onwards & upwards, fitting 1 today! hope we all have a good day, M A.There is no Haynes manual for the Stilo and when the Stilo eLEARN CD manual was published, the bushes were not available seperately.
Any 1 know where to get a bolt set(not dealer) for the bush re-fit, tried e-bay? net etc. any help much appreciated, M A.Good moaning(not a spelling mistake), Hello all, does anyone know if this crazy axle set up has changed on the later models, love the MW, beginning to loath the rear end!
