Lollipop bush changing- tips

[bigwinn]

Evening all

Anyone got tips as the best/easiest way to change lollipop bushes over.

Did OSF today as was fitting a new wishbone. Used the eccentric bushes, however now I need to balance them up and replace the NSF-

That means taking the old one off and replacing with the eccentric

Is heat best? Or in a vice?

What do you do-

Ideally , you need to have them pressed out, and new ones pressed in.

I cut the old bushes out with a hacksaw and took the new ones to my local garage to press the new bushes in - charged me a tenner.

But don't bother fecking about cutting the old ones out - just take the lollipop with the old bush still in-situ and the new bushes to the garage and let them do the lot.

They will be able to do both lollipops in less than 10 minutes - just make sure if you're using eccentrics that they line the arrows up.

The bush is already pressed in, I just need to get it on the end of the wishbone

Same Stu - tales on here of tyre soap, rubber mallets, putting lollipops in the freezer blah blah blah - don't bother.

On a press its done in seconds.
