Diff bushes

[Jimii]

Ok I really need to get my finger out and do these diff bushes, I did give Trevor to my indie to do the diff bushes he had a look and doesn't fancy it . Are they really that bad to do? How long to do it if all goes well? diff out or work around it?

I done it in september last year, not a too bad job, the diff is a bit awkward to get down when having the car on axle stands but is do able.

The upper bush is the hardest, however i made a drift up on the lathe and was able to hammer the bush out away from the car, but was a two man job at that stage to hold the bar and my dad hitting the bar to get it out, come out easy enough

I'm in the process of having to repair the threads on the upper mounting points as two of them are stripped, so hoping to be able to just remove the back plate and then reseal it up after.

I have the drift i made still in my tool box if you want to use it, its heavy but if you can collect t if your around the london area, that or can post out to you if you want it and saves buring that bush out under the fuel tank.

An air chisel will knock out the top bush as well.

I have a cheap one from Lidl / Aldi and it did the job just fine and there was no risk of hititng the side of the car while whacking the long bar.
