    Added install trick is put bushings in freezer over night.

    Great tips for bushing removal. One bit of advice, a little heat from a propane torch on the control arm collars (around the bushing) helps loosen everything up. If you do it lightly, it won't cause too much of a stink in your workshop.

    Here's how I have removed bushings: clamp the control arm in a bench vice, then use a hole saw on a drill to cut into the rubber bushing, then attach the drill to a wire rust removal tool and pull it back through the opening, clearing all the rubber and leaving the metal clean!

Those arms with the hooks on the end reach around the back side of a pitman arm and pull it off a stationary vehicle. Like this: ruclips.net/video/dJs5iS13DGk/видео.html EDIT: Linked a better video.

  • @CodewortSchinken
    @CodewortSchinken 7 лет назад +17

    A realy good idea, especially the petrol bath.
    Sadly suspension arms made from pressed steel instead of cast aluminium, often to find on less sporty cars, sometimes do not have enougth "meat" for the gear puller to grab.
    If the gas torch is the only solution, here are some tips:
    1. Do it outside.
    2. Do not inhale the fumes and do not bend over the treated bushing.
    3. Let it burn. It starts to stink when the fire is extinguished.
    4. No need to completely burn the rubber away. Just heat up the inner steel tube until it can be pushed out of the rubber sleeve gently with a screwdriver or metal rod. The rubber can be pulled out easily afterwards.
    On bushings with an outer steel tube, like for example engine mounts I prefer another method:
    Mount a hand metal saw with the blade through the inner tube and saw through the inner tube, the rubber and precisely through the outer tube without demaging the engine mount.
    The tension of the pressed in bushing then reduces its scope and lets it fall out.
    If this doesn't work, do a second cut round about a centimeter next to the first an hammer a flat screwdriver between the outer tube and the engine mount.

    • @richaricha6989
      @richaricha6989 5 лет назад

      If you get the 2-piece polyurethane bushings, you just push one piece into each side and put the hollow steel tube through the center. Line up the holes and push the bolt through. The bushings sometimes are just slightly longer than the hole you’re putting them into, so when you tighten the bolt, it compresses the bushings tight. No need for any kind of press. Might need to hammer it in, but that will not take to much effort.

  • @TomTremayne
    @TomTremayne 5 дней назад

    'Interference' is an automotive term used for when things fit very, very tightly or are squeezed to fit somehow but to talk about a 'bond' is a perfectly good way to describe how the rubber & metal have mated (before you undermine them using the petrol trick to help separate them) in this video. Your English is excellent by the way.

    A long bolt with a nut, a piece of pipe just a little bigger than the bushing, and two thick flat washers one just a little smaller than the bushing the other just a little bigger than the pipe. Put the bolt with the smaller washer through the bushing and then the pipe with the larger washer on last put the nut on. Tighten the nut pressing out the bushing press the new bushing in the same way

    I've drilled them out before. Everyone has a drill and bits (I think). Make lots of drill holes around the rubber. It eventually reduces in volume to the point it can be pushed out by hand using a screwdriver.
    Although, don't even attempt this job if you don't have the tools to install a new bush. It can be done with bolts, nuts, and washers if you're on a budget.

    Who needs a tool? Only tools needs special tools the majority of UK DIY men with sheds & garages (a place to park your own vehicle) can conjure up a bench vice to hold the item containing the bush, a length of threaded bar, a socket large enough for the bush to be pulled into, a socket or washer to drift the/ pull bush through the item & 2-3 nuts for the threaded bar all of which most normal lads/men will already have in their possession this operation can be done in reverse as well to insert the new bush so why go spend money on a specialised tool? How do you think these specialised tools got designed? It was a man in his shed that saved $12 all because he's not a tool.

      Gaz Girl It works on bushings with crowns, after you put them in gasoline for a day or two. The crowns can then be removed by hand, you don't even need a knife. Of course a press works better, but it takes up a lot space and isn't cheap. Most average diy car enthusiasts don't do this type of thing too often. If you do this type of work often enough, then of course a press is justified as you suggest.

    Ha this is great. I did mine with to sockets and a bench vice and a hammer......would have been nice to see this years ago.

    Its not quick and easy if you have to submerge the bushing for 2 to 3 days

      I didn't say you have to do it, it's optional to make things a bit easier.

    So my issue is that the toe/camber bolt inside the bushing is seized, which means i cant remove that arm at all and have to do everything under the vehicle. Will that puller still work?

    Great tip and video! This is great idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm preparing to do this myself. Regarding burning the rubber. The way i seen it done is heating the outside of the control arm (or whatever suspension component) unless the heat transfers to the rubber melting it away from its shell. Not actually holding the flame to the rubber. Posting in case it can help someone. Cheers 🍻

    I just use 1/2" all thread. Two sockets. One big enough to allow the bushing to pass through. The other small enough to fit through the hole. Just stack some steel thick washers under the smaller socket. Then just crank on the nut. It will come right out...ruclips.net/video/50VUhlxlO-M/видео.html
    Or just go rent a bushing\ball joint press kit.
