Ruby track rod bush - andrew767767 - 25-07-2021
Hi I need to remove the bronze bushing from the track rod arms. Is it something I can press out or do I need to go to an engineering works to also press new ones in?

I think they will come out using a suitable size plain punch. Fitting the new ones can be achieved by squeezing in a vice, after which they need careful reaming to size.

The worn ones can be easily removed by CAREFULLY cutting through the bushes with a junior hacksaw which makes it simple to drift them out. New ones pushed in using Vice as already suggested.
