chamfer.
cool thanks guys. will a normal angle grinder be ok? how much you reckon needs grinding off?
oops :-) spelling never my strong point!.
Just use your own nous for that, but basically as little as you can get away with to help it locate
well I got it in. ground a little bit of the edge to make it tapered, adapted the press to work with it (go to my build thread if you wanna see the set up haha)
I rotated the bush a bit, as opposed to the stock position to compensate for the car being lowered, as the old one was ripped and my guess is that it was a combination of being old and being twisted from the lower ride height.
will let you guys know how the second one goes when I get around to it haha.
haha must feel good ey? got it in.
the joy of DIY!
got it in and feel like a boss. fukcyea.jpg
haha yeah lets hope I don't have to take it out to rotate it again haha.
If you have your trailing arms off, its really easy to press the bushes in using a cheap press.
put the arm down on a press, line up the bushing on top, put one rear brake rotor 'upside down' on top of the bushing (the shaft of the bush will come through the centre of the rotor, and the 'hat' of the rotor will nicely put pressure on the casing of the bush), then put the other rotor on top 'right way up'. This should clear the shaft of the bushing and allow you to put a piece of steel or what not on top of the top rotor.
Its simply then a case of pressing it in!
rear brake discs! thats a thought, thanks man. I ended up using the casing from my old torn RTA bush and some bits of steel for this one though.
