7. Steadily turn the bottom nut on the force screw (B15) to pull the two-part bush out of
the subframe. Do not use power tools to turn the nut. The purpose of the aperture
plug mounting bar is to ill the steady bar aperture and offer a lush wall for the bush to
slide down. If the aperture is left open, the top half of the bush will try to expand into
the aperture as it moves down. It will then catch on the bottom lip of the aperture and
jam. The same will happen when itting the new bush.
8. Before attempting to insert the new two-part bush, the main bush aperture in the
subframe must be carefully cleaned to remove any dirt and corrosion. It is very likely
that there is an amount of alloy oxidisation and this must be removed (suggest a wire
wheel in a power drill) to ensure that the new two-part bush will slide in cleanly to the
correct position.
9. Run your hand up inside the bush aperture in the subframe and ensure that the face
of the steady bar aperture plug (B8) is lush with the wall of the bush aperture. It is it
not, it can be adjusted in or out by turning the adjustment screw (E in Figure 3). It is
extremely important that the plug is lush with the bush aperture wall to ensure the new
two-part bush slides in cleanly without catching.
10. Now lubricate this cleaned subframe aperture with white silicone grease and also use
the same lubricant on the new two-part bush.
11. Lubricate the insertion force screw (B14) with molybdenum disulphide grease, then
assemble the components of the puller and the new two-part bush as shown in
Figure 5.

12. Note that the bush alignment insert (dummy steady bar) B10, is itted between the two
halves of the new two-part bush. This must be positioned at 90º to the subframe; the
insert's function is to keep both halves of the new bush in the correct alignment during
the insertion operation, which will then allow the insert to be removed through the
aperture and the steady bar to be inserted back into the correct position.
13. Again, holding the anti roll bar up to gain clearance, place the reaction collar (B6) up
over the subframe and onto the bush; secure onto the force screw (B14) with the top
nut (B12).
