The reason i´m posting this is i needed to repair/change these arms on my tf. looking around in some boards and only found answers like:
this item is not serviceable, you have to buy new oneor
you can only replace inner or outer bush didn´t remember.
so but why should rimmers sell this bushes.... so have a look =) hope i could help you guys.
Tools needed:
A vise
Some nuts like 32mm 28mm 17mm
a heavy hammer
hammer time
the inner bush at first looked easy to get out. put the bush with the nut in the vise and began to press it out.
Nuts 32mm and 17mm.
then i realised there is an outer ?bush? on the inner end need to press out to get the poly fitted.
so i needed to press it out. used a 28mm nut fitted perfect to this bush. and again the 32mm nut.
some heavy hammering and it came out.
the outer end was a bit harder to get out. until i realised that there is only one direction you can get it out.
first remove the rubber seals by removing the wire clamp.
to find out in which direction you can press this bush out look at my pictures.
will add some pictures about the finished and painted job later after sand blasting this stuff.
have a luck
