0 dr_broon Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I don't have a press, and I'm many miles from Birmingham, but I do know that @KiNK43 has burned bushes out before if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 garbs Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thanks mate. I’ve actually burnt out the rubber part of one of bushes [I think the fumes have knocked a few years off my life], but it’s the metal collars which are now stuck in and the tools I own won’t get the sodding things out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dave Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Can you not get a similar sized socket on them and bash the collars out mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 garbs Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 So I went to a local mechanic who managed to get them out, but they had to be cut out. The arms have been cut into a fraction, will this cause any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KiNK43 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Be fine mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
