When I change my cars oil at every 5000 miles . Thankfully by use of a mechanics lift . I liberally spray 303 Protectant on all rubber parts . As this will help them resist drying out and cracking .
Removing the old bush is really easy. Obviously it doesn’t matter how destroyed they get as the are heading for the bin anyway. So get yourself a good electrician holesaw and arbour. It needs to be larger than the aluminium internal bolt holder but smaller than the hard plastic shell of the bush. Simply run the cutter through, then carefully with a recip saw if you have one or a reversed hack saw. Blade through the big hole then reattach to the saw. Carefully cut the hard plastic without damaging the metal. One good hit with a mechanic chisel or an old screwdriver and she’s out. To clean the inside, a cheap old flappy sand paper disk in a drill does a great job.
This!! Using a 64mm hole saw is the perfect size, it cuts right on the plastic bur clears the steel frame. After that it’s just one or two whacks with a hammer and the bush is out
I’ve struggled to get those bushes out before working in a busy garage done a lot of these all I do is gently hear the eye of the axle that contains the bush and a couple of swift blows with a hammer and they fly out works every time 👍
Great instructional video, personally i think the air hammer is abit of a rough way of doing this job but you did a great cleanup i go for the drilling and sabre blade reciprocating saw method myself
Fab job, but I don't understand WHY ???? WHEN YE HAVE THE BRACKET OFF ,THAT YE DONT DE- RUST THEM & HEAT THEM ,PRIMER & PAINT THEM 😮 EVEN WITH HAMMERITE OR RUSTOLEUM OR SIMILAR 😅😅 GREAT VID & WORK
These are easy to do . Just use a hole cutter on a drill to take the central part of the bush out. Then get a air saw and cut the metal bush carrier . Once it’s cut through it will break the tension and can be tapped out easy. Then use a bearing puller to pull the new bush in.
I find the easiest method to remove is to drill 1 or 2 holes with 6 mm drill bit between edge of bush splitting the plastic surround then couple hits with hammer and comes out. Great vid though.
@@jayrx12 A neighbours car has this as an advisory. I will be replacing the brake pads and disc for her, but the bushes will be left for a local mechanic 🙄 I like to help where I can but this job is way beyond me to do on the drive.
They knock out with a long tubular socket (it's actually the input sleeve socket for transit gearboxes) and I'm only 5:6 and 11 stone... clowns with drills,saws and air hammers.... and I missed the part where the torque wrench came into play and the axle/bush bolt were renewed 😂😂

Worn rear bushes are a Ford tradition since the MK3 Cortina

Very detailed video. Thank you.

You have been quite helper, thank you very much
Does all this work apply to a 08 plate ? My fronts need doing , there’s a clanging sound when turn corners .
Mine were an advisory on the last MOT. The garage changed them as it was a bit beyond my limited DIY mechanic skills
That was the right move, took me 10 hours to do on my own lol.

Hey, guys any idea why I am experiencing inside tire wear on both rear tires? Would worn bushings cause it or something else?
I can't understand why a simple round bush has to be positioned in a certain spot like this?
i've wondered that too if it's today with the cutouts in the rubber and how it flexs possibly ?
@@mopedbanzi3275 Because if they're not "clocked" correctly they will be twisted and under a load if not installed properly.
Great stuff
Excelente video. Gracias a la traducción pude entender. Saludos
Really this the easiest thing, I did this today
Good video make more 😀

Shouldn't have used air chisel as youve damage the axle cut with hacksaw. Wouldn't use your garage lols
Just replace with poly bushes.easy peazy
How do you reposition the bracket to the exact position it was in before removing?
I did that on my golf when they went .🙂👍
polyurethane my beloved
Paint around the mounting surface so you can line it up exactly as it came out @@Kenny.1979
