eugheugh Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Can anybody please tell me how to get the rubber bushes back into the eyes of the shocks ?. They were removed before I bought them from a vendor at a jumble. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) I am not familiar with greeves shocks... but general engineering good pratice would suggest, ( assuming every thing is the right size) :- Make sure there is a good lead (chamfer) on the hole and maybe even consider grinding a small chamfer onn the leading edge of the bush. Lubricate well with soapy water ( the soap will wash away over time - oil can attack rubber especially if it is the wrong grade (epdm)) and squeeze together in your vice. The rubber may spring back a little when you undo the vice so you may need to use a couple of appropriately sized sockets to position the bush correctly.

b40rt Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Alans sounds like an engineer. Bodgers way, which generally works, vice, bush, tighten vice. May need a socket for the last bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie prescott Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Guy's. Yes Alan's way is right,but if you have not got a vice to hand ,you can do the job with a couple of big washers a length of threaded rod ,with two nuts and spanners, and socket or a short peice of tube. Regard's Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
