Diff Bush Replacement ??

Rather than removing the diff and having these pressed out and new ones pressed in, is there a simpler way I can relace them - in the driveway? It has been suggested that I can removed these with a cold chisel. If so, how?

btw I have looked at these and it looks like they need a press (a hoist would be nice).

Cheers,

Peter

 

If you had my mini hollow porta-power ram, threaded bar, nuts,washers and dolly's you could DIY

Sounds like an all weekender job. Let us know how you go.

 

Now THAT is worthy of inclusion to our Tech section:bow2:

 

Bugger, bigger job than I thought .......... and I don't happen to have a hoist conveniently in the garage to make the job easier.

My rear bushes seemed fine (no movement) so I only did the front ones and you don't need to remove the diff for those.
