Front wishbone
Can it be removed without removing rear bush from subframe?

Yes but can be a fiddle, I suggest plenty of lube and don't rush.

Can't see why not. I've done it the other way round often enough.
Have you found a supplier of decent quality arms yet? I'm thinking I might need one myself. EDIT: quick look on Matt's sight https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...2500-rbj000371 Not too painful if they are ok quality. Last edited by jonathan63; 25th February 2017 at 12:21.. |

The way I have removed the arm in the past is to put a puller on the part that pokes out under he car, if you keep applying pressure and wiggle the arm it usually will come. If the centre of bush starts moving put some mole grips on the arm and use them to lever the bush back in.
As I said earlier plenty of lube and take your time. |

To be on the safe side, I have ordered the new bush too, just waiting for Col to let me know when he can do it,as weather forecast naff for here next week,and I don't have a garage.

Strangely enough I have the bushes in stock, and if the last arm I had anything to do with, make sure you have a decent file to dress up the flats on the hexagon, as it was a whole 1.5mm bigger than standard Where are you getting the new arm from? Brian |
