Hi all,
Am now mentally set to renew the bushes according the excellent Wilki information.
Any other special tips to prevent it all going belly up would be grateful?
Especially the best way to remove the control arm shaft. Drift it out, right?
I've been using pen oil around all revalent bits for the last seven days to loosen things.
cheers

Please excuse if I don't answer until later today. We're off to the coast. Such a loverrrrrly sunny sunday.

That's what I plan to do this year !! ( because I understand that cutting / grinding and spot welding is involved !! )

Anyone know what it costs ?

i am taking mine to Brickwerks as soon as Mr Baxter is up to it again in april, even though its a 200mile round trip.. I know i could do it, but sometimes its just easier to let someone who has done it lots and knows the ins and outs do it. its not very expensive either

Hang on a bit!! I'm starting to get a feeling life with a T25 is not what you know....but who you know :roll: Is there a southern version of Gasure and Baxter available darn sarf...or is it a "northern thing"? :lol:
Might tell the girlfriend to book three weeks hols in july, instead of just two! One week for the Lake District and the other two visiting the legendary aforementioned duo!!
