rjs993 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Any suggestions as to how best to release the wishbones from the lower fulcrum pin / chassis mounting points (to fit new poly bushes)? They just seem solid! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I found the same the first t8me I did mine - I used a bigger hammer ....... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rjs993 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks Andy, That was indeed the answer! Some general encouragement to part company with surrounding components .... with the aid of a large hammer:). The first wishbone is now released. I wonder if you help me with a related question (which I am about to post another cry for help on the forum about)? When I removed the lower wishbone nearest the bulkhead I discovered that there are TWO thrust washers fitted next to each other. This was a surprise as I expected only one as had been the case on the other wishbone. Thoughts? Thanks Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Hi Robert, Good to hear that you were able to persuade it to come apart! I haven’t come across using extra trust-washer(s) I’m afraid - maybe others have. There are some shims/washers that you can see in the parts book or the Moss website, perhaps a previous owner added the extra thrust washer because they didn’t have the correct washers/shims to hand? Someone may have done a temporary fix to get to work on Monday morning and never gone back to fix it ....... Andy Edited October 3, 2021 by AndyR100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
