To remove link bushes (Fig. 14)
1. Remove the link from the crossmember as described under the appropriate heading; in the instance of the bottom link identify one end of the fulcrum pin to the link arm.
2. Remove the self-locking nuts and plain washers from both ends of the fulcrum pin.
3. Stand the link on its side in the press, as illustrated at ‘A”.
4. Place the plain support tube under the lower arm of the link, ensuring that the tube is correctly located around the outside of the link bush.
5. Position the mushroom driver between the nose cap of the press ram and the upper end of the fulcrum pin, at the same time applying a little pressure on the ram to enable the assembly to be supported. |
6. After making sure the fulcrum pin is in the vertical position, apply further pressure on the ram until the bush is pressed out clear of the link.
7. The link bush complete with fulcrum pin and two special washers are now separated from the link and can be drawn clear.
8. Proceed to remove the bush from the opposite side of the link. The procedure is similar to the first link but it will be necessary to temporarily refit the fulcrum pin with one of the special washers positioned between the link bush and the shoulder of the fulcrum pin, see Fig. 14 at “B”.
