Afternoon,

Anyone got a tip for how to remove the factory Trailing Arm Pivot Bush from the rear trailing arms (type1/3/944) and also from the 924 without destroying them in the process?

Thanks

Press it out... They're not friendly to re-use at all, in my estimation. Plan on replacements. Installing new ones can be done with shrink fit process. In the same vane, you could try putting the arm in an oven to allow the arm to grow enough to remove them easier... gonna have to be a big oven though. I've onluy done a few of them ever, but I remember tearing them up to remove them. I was much younger back then... nowadays I could probably salvage them with the right processes... and I haver a large oven... LOL (Powder coating is fun)
