There was blood. Definatly blood. There was also fire. I burned the remnants of the pass side chassis bush out. The drivers side bush i should have left alone as it was still good...but i had one so i fitted it. There is the reason there was blood and fire. Had to open both workshop doors coz the smoke alarm went off. Finally drilled all rubber out and got centre out. Burned the outer with the oxy. There was fire as the plastic the PO had encased the clutch pipe in and plastic conduit covering the starter cable melted a bit. Of course the built up grease and crap also was smouldering away. Couple quick squirts from a spray bottle fixed it. Bush on pass side went in ok. Tight as but got it in. Drivers side was an absolute nightmare. Threaded rod stripped. Threaded rod then bent. Then it stripped again with 4mm to go. Then blood. Pinched skin on finger. Ouch. Lots of blood. Bit of tissue and electrical tape stopped the flow. Bush finally pulled in with damaged shackle bolt and nut. New springs fitted ok. BUT...had to remove clamp bolt and heat tabs and bend over to stop them fouling on steering track rod. All good. Bolted diff down with u bolts. Fitted new lower shocky rubbers and new split pins...more blood... Cleaned up drivers backing plate and removed shoes and wheel cyls. Brake pipes came off easy. New rubber hose fitted. Ran out of light. Will put new cyls and shoes on tomorrow if i get the time. No pics this time but will endeavor to get some later.Originally Posted by Svengali0
