Paddy78 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Massively impressive Mike! How hard was it to remove all the old bushes and did you have a special tool / press? Something I'm looking to do in the near future, but you look like you have about 1000x more mechanical skill than me! Quote
madmikester Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks and It's not to bad as long as u have the correct tools I didn't to start with so delayed everything the tools I have are a hydraulic press and a ball joint press which is amazing spent a day trying to remove them with no luck got the ball joint press 20 mins later all changed If u need a hand when you do yours more than happy to help Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2 Quote
