4. OPERATION
NOTE: Before installing the new bush/bearing refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions, or a proprietary manual, to
establish the correct horizontal alignment or positioning of the bush. Mark where the old bush sits to ensure correct replacement.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the area around the bush is thoroughly cleaned.
4.1. Bush/BearingRemoval(Seeg.2)
4.1.1 Choose the thickest threaded bar that will pass through the bearing/bush.
4.1.2 Lubricate the force screw and nuts with a high quality molybdenum disulphide grease.
4.1.3 Choose the correct size of adapter to locate on the external casing of the bearing/bush. This adapter must be able to pass through the
suspension arm.
4.1.4 Choose the correct size of adapter to sit square on the bearing/bush housing on the suspension arm. This must be large enough to accept
the bush as it is pushed out.
4.1.5 Insert the force screw through the bearing/bush and locate the adapters as described in 4.1.3 and 4.1.4. Attach the washers and nuts at
each end of the force screw. Refer to g.2.
4.1.6 Make sure the U shaped viewing slots are aligned so that you can see the bush being removed.
4.1.7 Make sure the adapters and force screws are correctly positioned before tightening the nuts.
4.1.8 Using the correct sized ring spanner, gradually tighten the force screw nuts to drive the bearing/bush from its housing.
DO NOT use air tools.
DO NOT exceed the maximum torque rating of each force screw as listed in g.3.
4.1.9 Unscrew the nuts to separate the adapters and retrieve the bearing/bush.
4.2. Bush/Bearing Installation (Fig.2)
4.2.1 Fitting is the reverse of the removal proceedure.
4.2.2 Before installing the new bearing/bush, clean the inside of the housing with abrasive cloth to ensure it is free of debris and corrosion.
4.2.3 Lightly oil the outer ring of the bearing/bush and using a hammer gently tap the outer ring of the bearing/bush to locate it in the housing.
4.2.4 Use the largest force screw that will t through the centre of the bearing/bush and clean and lubricate its threads.
4.2.5 Select the appropriate sized adapters (see Section 4.1) assemble them and the force screws (see g.2). Once the adapters are square on
the housing and on the bearing/bush outer ring, tighten the nuts to force the bearing/bush into the suspension arm. Make sure that the
bearing/bush is square to the housing during installation.
4.2.6 Once the bearing/bush is installed, remove, clean and lubricate the components and return to their case.
4.3. Using with a workshop press
4.3.1 Where in-situ access isn't possible, the adapters can be used with a standard work shop press for bush/bearing removal and installation.
