Rear Propshaft Bush Removal

[garywinter]

Hi All

I have purchased a new "donut" and center bush for my Disco rear propshaft.
How do I remove the old bush and how do I get the new bush in?

Please, I would appreciate any advice

grab it with a pair of vice grips and then smack it forwards with a small hammer.

liberal application of wd40/freezenrelease and twisting it also helps.

Pack it full of grease and then select a socket (1/2" 11 or 12 mm from memory) that is a tight fit in the bush. Put a coin over the end of the socket (5c from memory) and then knock the socket in to the bush. The hydraulic action will force the bush out.

I got it out with a hammer and chisel, the most violent thing I have had to do on my disco.

I used a slide hammer with a single leg attatched and then wedged it with a screw driver in the bush as well, 2 wacks and it was out.
