Shock absorber Rubbers

Post by Martin.S »

Has anyone replaced their Girling rubber eye bushes without scratching the paint?
I've just sprayed mine up and I don't want to b*gger it up!

If you use a long nut and blot plus two washers same O/A dia as the bush, tighten the bolt to push the bush in. That should not scratch any paint. There's only contact on the bush.
