Oi Jase, reckon I can press LCA bushings at home with a Pitman arm puller? MY13 Impretzel.

[RX25SE]

Can you send pics of the arm/bushes?

Depending on size, some large sockets or pipe offcuts and a vice could be another option.

[Sven Smergberd]

Replacing these bushes in front LCA. Omr reckons needs press, I know you can do most with one of those Pitman pullers, and Joel has a thread on here I think where he does it.

Not against getting shop to do it, just wonder if doable at home.

That’s awesome! It does sound like a scam if you remove the comments about commissions etc

Keep up the good work!

Looks like the most important thing here is to have something of the correct diameter (socket, section of pipe, old bearing etc.) to press the bush out. I'm guessing the arms of the puller can pull against the LCA, so long as there is clearance for the bush to come out between the puller arms. Pitman arm puller are tricky as they typically have fixed arms.

 

A press is always the best option, but you will still need something of the correct diameter to push out the bush.

 

 

Sorry for the late reply, been away camping with the kids. (yes it was cold and wet!)

Awesome!

[Sven Smergberd]

Ah sweet, cheers for the reply Jase.

 

I might go the shop route then, nothing worse than having arms out with a bushing half pressed and then arm puller forks up.

[Bumpty]

Czarrrrr!

[RX25SE]

I need to sell my CS9s, but can't be forked.

Slackcubt..

[Liberty]

They'll sell fairly quickly I would say, no?

[RX25SE]

No idea Gaz.
I have a feeling they're not as popular as they once were.

Market will decide I suppose...

[Liberty]

Yeah true. I can post them up on Facebook for you too if you like to help out.

[RX25SE]

Cheers Gaz.

 

I might just take you up on that.

[Liberty]

Hit me up man.

Hazmat, how have you been? What car are you travelling around in now?

Hey Gaz, life has been crazy. Bought a house 3 months ago with the lady friend and got rid of the Forester for an Audi A1. You?

[Liberty]

Nice mate!

 

Jess and I have moved in to our brand new place close to 3 months ago, we live in the Shire now. Bought a brand new VW Tiguan R-Line and absolutely love it.

 

Whereabouts did you buy?
