i have a 10 ton press what was your method? explain please

You need a pressing tool and a receiver tool.

The old standard bush your are pressing out needs a tool slightly smaller in OD to push it out.

You need a receiver tool with a ID slightly larger then the bush to rest the arm on while you press it and to cath the old bush while it is being pressed out.

You can fit the new polyurethane bushes by hand, gease them up and they slip in.

You may need to press the crush tubes in though.

"catch" not cath. You use the larger plate to hold the arm in place. But if you have a press you probably have the right sized fittings

i dont see how u can press them out as they ave a lip 2 stop u from pressing them inwards, and i dont see how u can prres them outward?

I thought you r were talking about the rear arms, that's the picture with the damaged bush. The rear arms don't have a lip on the bush.

The only R32 arms with lips are the front uppers, no pressing required there. I just use an air chisel, takes a few seconds per bush. Put the arm in the vice and gradually work the air chisel in between the bush lip and the arm. Work around the lip and gradually increase the angle on the chisel.

If don't already have an air chisel, you can buy one for peanuts from SupaChepa, AutoBarn, AutoOne, AutoPro etc, very useful tool.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
