crwoody Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Burn out the rubber bush and then take a hacksaw to the metal outer sleeve and cut it most of the way through, should be able to knock it out then with a chisel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heath robinson Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I've just done 6 out of 8 of mine on the afore-mentioned hydraulic press, and had to use the hacksaw method for the last 2, although rather than the burning bit, I just pushed the centre out then cut through the rubber and outer shell with the hacksaw. Mine were of an '84 vintage (A very good year, so I'm told) and the rust around the outside can cause problems if the thing you're using to push them through isn't exactly the right size. Give them a good scrubbing with a wire brush first. hth Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
