This looks highly questionable but I respect the hustle and it appears to have worked. Not sure I'm going to try it myself tho
A decent drill bit will get the bush out Don't forget to take the aluminium sleeve out too Replace with POWERFLEX quality item
Ignore all couch mechanics who knows everything but never replaced rim in their life
Video helped me on my Mk6 GTI
Made in Romania.Lucrare tipică de Dorel in coltul blocului.
Băi prostălane care ai lucrat..Strângerea finala a surubului de la bucsa mica se face CU SUSPENSIA COMPRIMATA.
Ce ai facut tu acolo este țiganie,eu iti băgam postolul pneumatic in cur daca faceai asa la masina mea.
Cand masina va reveni cu roata pe sol bucsa mica va sta in tensiune iar daca se mai comprima mai mult la gropi si balans al masinii,aceasta va ceda prematur.
Be very careful if you want to do this procedure and you value your life.This bolts are torque to yield and not reusable. Front bush must be retorqued last and under load to avoid premature wear.Torque specs are:
Front control arm bush bolt-70nm+180°
Rear control arm bush-2x16mm bolts 50 Nm+90°
1x18mm bolt 70 Nm+90°
Ball joint nuts 60 Nm
Doing this job tomorrow on my golf, i have a hydraulic press but actually looks like it may be easier in the vice due to the shape of the wishbone
This is savage
wow thats brutal :0
A disaster!!!!
u should have used washing up liquid . it's safe
the grease damage the rubber!!!What a pity!
Those control arm bushings are stretch bolts and need to be replaced every time they are taken out, torque values are important as well.
Thanx a lot! Do you have the tightening torque values for the screws by chance?
