Rien Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi Dan, No, the brown book says it must be slide in and free turn in the crank. Regards, Rien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Royal Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Chaps On my alluminium flywheel my bronze spigot bush (1 inch by 1/2) inch is fitted into the flywheel , and is a tight fit. Is this correct? Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 It should be in the crank.best to email NR I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know of a good non-destructive method of removing an already existing tight fiting bush??? Richard. Edited January 5, 2013 by Richard71 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Does it spin? is the center ovaled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nah, it won't spin within the crankshaft and I don't want to start butchering it in fear of damage to the crank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heckler Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Does anyone know of a good non-destructive method of removing an already existing tight fiting bush??? Richard. Hi. If you push thick grease into spigot bush hole then use a drift just smaller than the hole size to force the grease behind bush to eject it . Just add more grease as bush comes out .

Richard71 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Bloody great idea! Wish I had thought of that........I've used a similar technique in the marine trade to part propellor shaft couplings by pumping in hydraulic oil. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 As I asked Richard ok if the hole is round? the same thing as Chris but a small amount of grease an old tyre valve and 50 psi should pop it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Update.....Hydraulic method didn't work in my case, I ended up tapping and screw-jacking it out. Seems unusual that it was so tight, as when the car was last on the road there were no clutch problems or starnge squeaks or whirls. Thanks, Richard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
