Hi all, My front suspension is rock solid as the trailing arms are siezed in the front beam tubes. I managed to get the bottom pair off & have greased them up and they are all ok now but I can;t get the top ones out. I have adjusters & I've taken the grub screw out of the centre of the beam and slid the leaves out about a foot. The trailing arms will move with a pounding from a lump hammer and a block of wood, but you can't get any purchase to actually pull them out. I've tried a bearing puller, but you can't really get a grip with the arms as the back edge of the trailing arms have a chamfer on them & the arms keep slipping off. Any suggestions? Thanks
Thanks for the replies guys Hammer time? You're not wrong! Got them out eventually after a LOT of banging with a large lump hammer & a few choice words. Tried everything - trolley jack wedged between the beam & the trailing arm, long bar bolted to the trailing arm - ended up bashing hell out of the leaves from the other end but. man, did it take some shifting (& many hours). Anyways, now got them off - one of the outer (look like polyurethane) bushes has a bit broken off & looks like it's gone hard so will probably replace that one & maybe the others if that goes well. i assume I can just cut the old bushes out with a hacksaw then knock the new ones in with a rubber mallet? thanks
