4. OPERATION
NOTE: before installing the new bush/bearing refer to
the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions, or a
proprietary manual, to establish the correct horizontal
alignment or positioning of the bush. Mark where the old
bush sits to ensure correct replacement.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the area around the bush is thoroughly cleaned.
4.1
Bush/Bearing Removal (See fig.2)
4.1.1 Choose the thickest threaded bar that will pass
through the bearing/bush.
4.1.2 Lubricate the force screw and nuts with a high quality
molybdenum disulphide grease.
4.1.3 Choose the correct size of adapter to locate on the
external casing of the bearing/bush. This adapter must
be able to pass through the suspension arm.
4.1.4 Choose the correct size of adapter to sit square
on the bearing/bush housing on the suspension
arm. This must be large enough to accept the bush as
it is pushed out.
4.1.5 Insert the force screw through the bearing/bush and
locate the adapters as described in 4.1.3 and 4.1.4.
Attach the washers and nuts at each end of the force
screw. Refer to fig.2.
4.1.6 Make sure the U shaped viewing slots are aligned so
that you can see the bush being removed.
4.1.7 Make sure the adapters and force screws are correctly
positioned before tightening the nuts.
4.1.8 Using the correct sized ring spanner, gradually tighten
the force screw nuts to drive the bearing/bush from its
housing.
DO NOT use air tools.
DO NOT exceed the maximum torque rating of each
force screw as listed in fig.3.
4.1.9 Unscrew the nuts to separate the adapters and
retrieve the bearing/bush.

bush/bearing Installation (Fig.2)
4.2.1 Fitting is the reverse of the removal proceedure.
4.2.2 Before installing the new bearing/bush, clean the
inside of the housing with abrasive cloth to
ensure it is free of debris and corrosion.
4.2.3 Lightly oil the outer ring of the bearing/bush and
using a hammer gently tap the outer ring of
the bearing/bush to locate it in the housing.
4.2.4 Use the largest force screw that will fit through
the centre of the bearing/bush and clean and
lubricate its threads.
4.2.5 Select the appropriate sized adapters
(see Section 4.1) assemble them and the force
screws (see fig.2). Once the adapters are square
on the housing and on the bearing/bush outer
ring, tighten the nuts to force the bearing/bush
into the suspension arm. Make sure that the
bearing/bush is square to the housing during
installation.
4.2.6 Once the bearing/bush is installed, remove,
clean and lubricate the components and return to
their case.
4.3
Using with a workshop press
4.3.1 Where in-situ access isn't possible, the

shop press for bush/bearing removal and
installation.
