Help!!! Dog bone bush won't go on!

[Millen]

How on earth are these meant to fit? I can't for the life of me squeeze the larger bush into the hole, I have taken off the excess metal that holds the standard one in. I just can't see any possible way of getting it in!

Any ideas would be great as i'm fast turning into a fit of rage

Thanks all

Dan

i had no end of trouble trying to get the smaller bush (yellow type) to fit my dog bone, there was no way on earth it would fit, so i binned it and went back to standard

we got it pushed in using a hydraulic press, but as soon as the pressure was released it just popped out and went flying

 

[Millen]

It's just unbelievable. It's meant to be a quick and easy mod and yet again i've got absolutely nowhere!

Anyone else?

are you sure you've removed all of it? the bush is bonded to a steel outer which needs pressing out - you should only be left with the alloy arm. other than that, may be the bushes are the wrong size; should be a simple push fit

Sounds like your having fun. I'm glad I got a ph2*1 mine was quite easy compared to the trouble you are having.
As mentioned above, sleeve must be pressed out also.

Is it the twisted type ? Same as 182 ?

 

[Henry]

should be purple bushes for the twisted Ph2 arm. are the yellow (Ph1) bushes bigger?

i did mine only yesterday with yellow powerflex on my phase 1 (straight one), the powerflex went in very nicely, only ball ache was getting the old bushes out. as said above you should on be left with the alloy cast, the bushes with a bit of grease should slide in nioce and easy.

My poweflex one went in piece of piss. Took me 15 minutes max

If it doesn't go together in 5 minutes your doing something wrong. Got a pic?

 

[Millen]

Got it guys. I'd removed all the metal ring it was just a tight fit. Got it in there in the end with a little help.

Cheers for all the replies

Did you go for the Powerflex ones?
