  1. Never done them but might have bash .
    Don`t think they need to be pressed in / out so do-able in a field next weekend ??

    Asking for a friend ....

  5. knock old race out and then cut a slot through it, then you can use it to push new race back in. (top tip have something to cut the old race with, eh @Mattlad)

  7. Take your dust cap off, fill it with sharp sand, drive to TE. By the time you get there there will be nothing left to knock out :)

  19. Yes a bench mounted chopSaw to get through the hardened metal would be ideal- I unfortunately removed the workshop fittings in lieu of a camping interior when we started a family - how foolish I felt.
