removing bushes

[vkosho]

I wanna polybush my wishbones, but keep the origional items and just replace the bushes with polyflex ones. I remember hearing that the origionals are very hard to get out.

Whats the sitch, Whos done it?? Easy or impossible? I dont really want R19 wishbones and cant afford renault Willy ones so what are the options.

Cheers.

cheers. ive seen that before but wasn't sure if it was for a new wishbone or poss an r19 one.

i tried that with new wishbones, just started bending them instead of shifting the bushes, so i simply twatted the crap out of them with a mallet till they came out 8) :lol:

I tried Northys way AND twatting them...they didnt budge!

so its pretty much a case of try it and if they bend **** it off and accept the R19 GSF fate?

Using Northys method you can help redice risk of bending if you have a massive set of clamps so you can clamp the ends and force just the bush sheaths out.
