Default Re-bushing

The picture of the vice and ply reminded me of all my efforts in getting the new bushes in using G clamps, large hammer and all sorts.

I then had a divine inspiration moment and got some threaded rod, and washers some sockets to pull against....plenty of washing up liquid and heyho a bush replacement tool....they wound in with no effort at all...

The removal of the old ones was a bit of a bitch.....I drilled through the rubber and then had an old log with a hole in....placed an old bolt a washers in the bush and beat hell out of it with a lump hammer....in the end with suprisingly good results.
