    Anyone got a press...

    ...that they're willing to lend me? I need to replace the rear bushes with Superpro poly jobs, and have no press to do it with. I'd be happy to collect/drop off, or if you would like to come over and give me and Newhue a hand, I'll ensure there is beer and fresh prawns from my mates trawler on offer

    You can put them in with a vice, but you need three hands. Getting them out is a bit harder

    Unless you get a better offer,


    I've still got my little press we used for the front bushes.
    I have since done the front and rear on another defender, so it's a little more abused. (even replaced an A frame ball joint with it)

    If you are handy with a drill press, have a hydraulic jack , couple of bits of M12 all thread and a bit of channel handy you can make a small press in less than a hour that will do the job.


    Just use bit heavier channel than what I used.

    Jboot, feel free to join us, and anyone else who wants to hang out. The more the merrier methinks - the quicker we get it done, the quicker we can sit out on the deck and talk ****

    or the more we can get done - always plenty to be done on my Defender

    Looks like I got my day/date wrong. Sunday the 8th would be better for me, if my bushes turn up before then. Hopefully this suits you Jboot51?
