Post No 4.---Spent 4 hours yesterday trying to line up the two bolts that hold the rubber bush in place.--No luck there so I gave up.
Will have another go tomorrow.---

The bush housing slid easily onto the arm but----not quite in the right position. With arm bolted to the car I tried to move the housing along the arm.--- Nothing, It might have been welded on.---

I tried whacking it using a long steel rod and my 7 lb lump hammer.---Nothing.

Two choices tomorrow, whack it harder or remove the arm from the car so as to make it easy to get at.

Life at the moment is a pig.--Trying to fit in visiting time at the hospital where my wife has just had a new hip joint fitted.

She's slowly turning into a mechanical person.---Pacemaker, new hip and previously breast cancer, skin cancer and replacement lenses in both eyes.---

Ooops, nearly forgot. A plastic tube left in her neck from the breast cancer op they said was too difficult to remove but would cause no problems if left in.

PS. No appendix or ovaries.---

As we are in France the bill for the hip is at £6,650 so far and still rising with £90,00 a day for the room and treatment.---
