hey guys, ive done searches on removing a spigot bush and tried the grease method but cant seem to get it to budge. anyone got any ideas on the best/easiest way to remove an auto spigot bush? cheers

you have to pack it heaps with grease and use a socket that fits tight aspossible i use one of the longer sockets with an extension bar till you feel it get hard to push in then hit the bar with a hammer,it will work the pressure from the grease will pop it out.

yeh tried that. then tried a chisel to bend it in and sorta fcuked it up. so not sure how to get it out now

sometimes it takes a few goes, but you might have burred the edges now grease is still you best chance at getting it out, pack the socket with grease aswell. and give it a couple more goes.

get a slide hammer

I've used wooden dowell before (on a manual bush). Just very slightly larger than the hole in the bush and it crushes down to form an awesomw seal. But if the bush is stuffed, why not tap a bolt into it and use slide hammer etc

grease and a 20mm shaft

Centre punch and work your way around the outside edge of it. It works better than a cold chisel. This is how I removed the last one I did because there was no way it would pop out with greese.

thanks for your ideas guys. ended up welding a piece of metal to it and hit the piece of metal out. got it out in 20 secs. i reckon its the easiest way if you know how to weld or know someone.
