Front supension bushes

An MOT advisory. Forum friends have special tools, but the job was a easier than expected, with a bit of ingenuity. New bushes Iveco 1391347 (£26 from Vexi) or Bison parts 134-003 (2 for £15) what a price difference! I used the Bison parts, which had slightly thinner metal, but they generally use a variety of suppliers even for the same items. Tips: Use a puller of one sort or another. I found that M12 threaded bar and a variety of washers and socket sizes will do most of the job, But the last part needs a bar to straddle the whole bush Get the bolt out (mine moved easily) The inner sleeve is 29mm wide, so needs a deep 30mm+ socket or a piece of unistrut. And a smaller socket less than 29mm outside. Use the big washers to start moving the bush. For the last step you need a strong washer 50mm diam to pull it out. To reassemble You may want to chamfer the new bush to get it started well.
