Anthony Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Have the rear diff bushes got a metal outer sleeve?I'm burning mine out at the moment, and there looks to be a metal sleeve around them?I can't tell if this is part of the bush, or part of the diff housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes, there is a sleeve. After burning out the rubber, judicious use of hacksaw, chisel and hammer will sort it......Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yes, got mine out by carefully cutting a slot with a hacksaw then attacking with a big screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubce Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I removed them last month by the use of a pair of sockets, a long bolt, a few washers and a nut. The smaller socket of a slightly smaller outside diameter to the bush is drawn into the casing by tightening the bolt and nut. As the bush is drawn out it is moved into the large socket located on the other side of the lug. Works a treat and zero mess unlike the burning method.RegardsBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You got lucky - usually they just ignore you when you try it that way.....Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
