The poor man’s press method. Absolutely brilliant! 😃👌🏻
Using the car as a press... Bloody awesome! Hope you don't have to rip it all out, be a bloody shame wouldn't it 😕
Thanks mate
Nice job. I did almost the same thing for removing the old bushings, except I used a electric saw to cut the bushing wall instead of a hand saw. I used a bench vice to press the new bushings into the torque rods.
Thanks man, I would love such luxuries 😃
Car press. Nobody expected. Everybody needed!
Necessity is the mother of invention 😂
Romantic numberplate 💕 how lovely 😊 xxx
Popped over from Partridge Exterior Cleaning
Thanks for the sub, hope you enjoy the vids!
Using the car to fix the car is a big Thanos play there!
Haha thanks bud
@@Involvod Also forgot to mention the BBW got to love them Big beautiful wheels.
We love them! 😄
Great idea using the car as a press I used to press bushes into starters motors If I can give you a tip in future.
Anytime your pressing any Bush in no matter what it's made of use something flat and solid on top of the Bush it will stop the Bush from twisting and possibly getting distorted great video though buddy
Thanks mate
Ha awesome life hack
Oh mate u could of painted the tourqe arms before you put them back in.anyway that poor mans press is bang on! Might have to use it myself 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I never considered that mate, but the underside will look narsty soon I'm going to fluid film all of it
haha, brilliant! ;D
Using the car as a tool to help fix it's self , clever :D
It was one car fixing the other 😄
Not to make you jealous, but I just pushed in that bush by thumb/palm today and some fairy liquid.
Someone's been eating their greens 🤣 That's impressive, even my Volvo struggled at first
I see that these PU bushings don't have the metal sleeve on them, Nice! They cost a lot more, but these you can mount easily with an improvised press / vise.. The normal rubber ones with metal sleeves scare me of, probably need a day in the freezer first andi don't have a professional press.
Yeah, someone did say they aren't as strong without that extra metal ring, but I'm not worried, the only thing I am worried about is them failing inspection due to them being a "modification" we'll find out next year!
Odd thought from a non-mechanic: Use a well lubed piston ring compressor sleeve to start the bushing into the hole.
you've just HACKED it bro!!!!
😄 thanks
What kind of grease did you uses, would lucas red and tacky work
Are the new ones stronger, do they last longer than the regular ones.
They do last longer, the arm is less strong because it doesn't have the extra metal shell but the bushes are definitely alot stronger. I hear the torque rod bushes wear fast on these so PU helps
Did you try those blue tablets in the washer bottle ?
I totally forgot, I just put it on my to-do list for tomorrow!
I just tried it, in a bottle, didn't do anything! I'll upload the footage but there's not much to see 😃 So who knows what they are
Very large E's 🤔
If I was a meanie, which I'm not...But if I was, "BW" = Brummie Wanker...? 😉 Exactly how romantic did your lady think it was of you to put her initials on that old Volvo then? Was it a "rolling her eyes and shaking her head" reaction, or was it more like, "You get an extra schnitzel for dinner liebling" reaction?? 👍
Well I was honest and told her what a BBW is which provoked some eye rolling but she let me off with it 🤣
@@Involvod You sir are a braver man then me, I think I'd rather change the handbrake cable on a spider infested Volvo then mess with eine Deutsche Frau... 😉
@@akersjon278 But I did emphasise the Volvo is the BBW 🤣
@@Involvod Well duh! You are still here to talk about it, so of course you did... 😄
