Top differential bushing

[e635815]

Why, how why did they make this bushing belong to the chassis instead of the diff? Why can't anything be simple with TVR?

How did you manage to get the top diff bushing out? And press the new one in (Powerflex)?
Thanks.

see old thread

My Dad and I made up a puller in addition to the one we made to Rob's design utilising a drain fitting which is the exact fit of the bush housing on the top diff mount, but a puller is definitely the way to go, eith Rob's design, SP void one or home made job . .

its a pain in the rear of a job. I ended up burning the bush out be very careful petrol tank etc not far away. Then after two days wacking with lump hammer and long drift it still wouldnt budge the outer metal bush part. So I drilled a hole through the centre of the bush holder in the chassis and used a smaller drill bit inside to drill lots of holes in the outer bush (not the chassis). This worked a treat it release the presure and came out easy one wack with a hammer.
