Wishbone Bush removal ?

[Jonnie B]

Hi can anyone advise on what size press i require to remove & then fit new OE rubber bush's ? to the wishbones.
They seem's to be 6 & 10 Ton avaiable would one of these be OK ?

I am starting this over christmas along with taking the body of & stripping down the chassie.

regards

John.

Thank you for the advice.

One other queston:
As i'am putting new OE rubber bushs back, after the arms are powder coated do you have to clean the powder coating out of where the the bush will be inserted ?

Thank's

John.

Yes. If you don't the bush may bind plus when it comes out the other side will cause the powder coating to peel off.
Once the bush is in paint round between the bush and the wishbone to seal & prevent rust.

Thanks

I've just taken the body off my Cerb and will be going through the same process that you are talking about Jonnie so it should be interesting to compare notes. I hope to be stripping down the chassis this weekend - key point for all TVR owners is that the chassis looks a lot worse from above that it did from below!!

Hi Michael

Yes it will.
Now i've started my Xmas holidays, so i've finally got started.
Engine & gearbox out, now just starting to find & release all of the body fixing points.
