Post by jim tylee » Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:54 pm

Just looked under the anus and the nearside rear rubber bush in the spring is breaking up...

It is possible... but it will be a pain in the arse

Those back ones can be really hard to get out, you might have to burn it out to be honest, and you might even have to cut the bolt out the middle of it

Give it a go, but be prepared to roll the whole axle out

Ye I replaced all my rubber bushes In mine and replaced them with Pollybushes I think it's only about £55 for all bushes for the springs

But you will have to take of all the springs mate as I had to chuck all my springs on the bomb fire as I couldn't get the bushes out
