#3: Re: Rear Axel Bushes :/ Author: kenzie, Location: TelfordPosted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:00 pm ---- yes mate think so
#4: Re: Rear Axel Bushes :/ Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:00 pm ---- oh dear...
dealer got a special tools to pull the whole bush out.
without that you got to cut the bush into a few pieces and then chisel them out.
#5: Re: Rear Axel Bushes :/ Author: kenzie, Location: TelfordPosted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:06 pm ---- oh damm :/ and you cant buy this tool?
#6: Re: Rear Axel Bushes :/ Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:31 pm ---- not i that i am aware of.
it is just a hydraulic puller + adaptor for the bush
you can certainly buy the puller, but not the adaptor.

well, there is a diagram in the tech. manual.; i just can' get my head around that

Pass a bolt through from the otherside with a head or washer big enough to fit over the bush but not to have an overlap. Put a nut on the bolt sticking out of the socket. (The bolt thread will be where the ratchet would go). Tighten the nut. This will pull on the washer drawing the bush into the socket.

Its quite a well known way of removing them/similar things, i've personally used the method lots of times (slightly different parts sometimes, but same principle) to remove bushes/bearings from motocross bikes, and trust me, they get seized in there!

i asked because i know that won't work or i done it wrong. there is no area for you to force to pull/ press out the bush with nuts, bolts and washer.
#15: Re: Rear Axel Bushes :/ Author: DanT, Location: Torbay, EnglandPosted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 1:22 pm ---- Yeah thats fair enough, i'm just saying i've removed many things that way when i didnt have the correct puller to hand.
I've also removed them using similar methods the guide on the second link you showed. (Seems to be a good DIY way looking at these specific bushes)
I've also set fire to the ones on saxos/106's and then removed the metal outer once the rubber has all burnt away. Sounds a bit pikey but it works!
