The next hurdle and i reckon the hardest part of the whole conversion is removing the spigot bush housing to fit the modified one to suit the r380. At this stage we will make a simple puller using 3/4 threaded bar weld nut to housing and using spacer to wind it out. Another method mentioned is drilling the mount putting in a grease nipple and hydraulically push it out using grease. This will be a last resort unless some can confirm there is a recess behind the bracket and crank i dont feel like drilling holes in it. A picture would be good. I have seen the posts in good oil as well. [/I]
Well as above it took more time to set up welder then remove. 2 x 3/4 zinc nuts, 2 x 3/4 washers, 1 x 24 inch 3/4 zinc booker bar . $13.00 bunnings.
10 mil plate with 3/4 + hole, length of pipe, supplied by mate. One large shifter and bobs your uncle. Crank bolt 41 mm 3/4 socket to stop rotation of crank. After first rotation of nut wound out with little to no pressure. Refitted new spigot carrier and bush tapped it in using the old 4 by 2 as a drift.
