mmgemini Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 LOL. Yes A tool to remove the inner busth on the drop arm ball joint. Change to 300Tdi drop arm and drag link and you don't need that !!!! I eat rat poison mike I can cause trouble in an empty house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yes, it is an old drop arm ball pin used to get the inner thingy out. I don't understand what you are saying about a 300tdi as this tool is from and is to be used on 300tdi Defenders. Maybe the Disco is different.. And changing the drop arm! I don't know anyone who has managed to get one off Anyway, many folks can't get the bush out of the drop arm so leave it behind. This is a mistake as the bush is softer than the pin and wears faster. Of course, getting all the bits and springs and plates back into the drop arm is a story to itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, true, that is the only way to do it... and then boing!!!! and the whole lot goes in all directions It is good training in swear words of various sorts. Oh well, you have to have a sense of humour if you do this sort of job in a Land Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneten110 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have never had any trouble getting the drop arm off, just undo the nut, fit a puller and it comes off every time. I have done all of mine this way, without any problems at all. No doubt next time I do this job, I will get the drop arm from hell, just to prove me wrong.
