Wishbone bush replacement

Postby jacky » Sat May 13, 2017 6:36 pm

Needing to get wishbone bush done in my van. It was an advisory on the last mot but it now needs done pronto. I can get it out the wishbone no probs but wondering how hard they are to press back in.

Don't you also need a socket that is bigger then the bush? So it gives the nut something to push against so it pulls the bush in also something to lubricate the outer part of the bush to help it slide in ( saw it done like that on wheeler dealers ) N
