markhowlett Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi I have got a RRC 1987 and looking to change the A frame bushes and to re paint all the parts. Would any body know all the sizes of the nuts and bolts and the brackets that hold it onto the chassis. I can find any AF spanners to fit. regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 IIRC the bolt head hex & nuts are 19mm across flats. M10 thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Aren't they 29mm or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhowlett Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for all your help. It has been a bit trying to find the right AF spanners and to undo 27 year old nuts and bolts. some I have had to cut off. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Aren't they 29mm or something. my spanners/sockets don't go that big, so they can't be 29mm as I removed the brackets from my old chassis before it was cut up & scrapped, fairly sure I used my 19mm socket/spanner on them. the A frame arm to bracket bolts were 24mm IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think I need to do this job soon too, I have some super pro bushes in a box ready to fit. I haven't touched the A frame or the ball joint in all the years I've owned it. Does it affect the drive much when the bushes or ball joint are shot? Also what about that self leveller, is it a bitch to remove & then what, refit it or do away with it? Can't still be working can it, 20 years later? I have soft springs but the back doesn't seem to sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhowlett Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi just uploaded some photos. It was hard to remove all the bolts. Some I had to cut. The old bushes would not press out so I had to burn them out. I am going to rub down the chassis where this all blots to over the next day or so. Then all I need to do is put it back together.
