Lower engine mount - diesel

RoryRover · 11th February 2012, 22:02

Now that powerflex make a replacement for the large bush on diesels, I was wondering how easy it is to get out the old bush and fit a new one.

Is this a big hammer job I could do at home, or is a press needed ?

Has anyone actually fitted one of these new bushes yet - and if so what do you think ?

I used a hacksaw to cut through the alloy ring and squashed it to reduce diameter to allow it to simply pop out.

Bit of a pig without a vice but cutting and hammering will do it eventually and yes i`ve had the new diesel one on for over a week and i`d recommend
