Could hydraulic pullers be used to "press" the bush out?

Trying to get everything ready to do the job.

Need an eazi bleed and some brake fluid also.

And VRS bushes from the hundereds of other threads yes? :grin:

blowtorch will be the easiest way... just heat them up proper and then they should easily come out  :smiley:

blow torch will melt the rubber but you'll need to cut the shells with a hacksaw to get them out afterwards

All I can say is... good luck :grin:

I didnt find them too bad to do when I replaced mine, although I was on a 2 poster ramp, apart from usual tools to take everything off, to get the bush out I used threaded bar and 2 large sockets as a puller to get the old bushes in and out, had to chisel one outer casing out but wasn't really a struggle. Going to do them again soon and replace with polybushes
