Thread: My attempt at spring bushes (still going)

what does a bush cutter look like?
Anyway i completed the other side today. 5 hours or so to do. made life bit easier having a rattle gun to undo everything and to get it mostly done up again ready to be torqued up right. but as usual what was a prob last time went easy on this side and vice versa. but at least its all back together and outa the shed. ill have to tackle the rears next, but i think they should be a tad easier i hope anyway.

you wont push the complete bush out. I heat the rubber with the oxy till
the centre tube pops out. Then use the air chisel and usualy you only get a
short way through then it will push the remains of the bush out.
Beats the hell out of mucking around with the hacksaw...Mark

i dont think i got one of those with my airchisel but i'm cunna check in the mornin.
