Doing a manual conversion

I CANT GET THE SPIGOT BUSH OUT!!! F**KIN PIECE OF SH*T.

Sorry, calming down. been trying to get the bush out all day....literally. Its not working. It may as well be welded in there.

tried grease...failed...very much failed. all i got was grease in my eyes and hair.

Tried wet paper...don't ask

Tried puller...still isn't coming out...hasn't even moved.

Can i just leave the auto one in there? hit it with a bigger hammer? stab it with a knife? shoot it with a gun?

Anyone with a smart idea on how to handle this situation....let me know..please. because Im going crazy.

Hey mate. I took mine out last weekend. It took me a while. But I got a puller and pulled it out. If that fails there is a post

on how to remove it. They said to use a 16mm bit of dowl aprox 1mtr long fill it with greese and hit it.

However i found the puller very effective

Goodluck

we just use plasticine, the cheap play-dough like stuff. pack the hole full of it, then get a bolt big enough in diameter to take up the whole space (but still not touch the sides) then hit the bolt in there lightly with a hammer and it comes out piece of cake. you have to keep filling the hole with more plasticine as the bush comes out

Die grind the bastard! For the grease method to work the bar needs to fit in the bush really neatly so when you fill the hole with grease and hit the bar it acts like a hydraulic ram forcing the bush out.

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
