how is this done properly?
i know you can just tap it in but this makes the internal diameter smaller does it not?
is there a commercial available tool?
is tapping it in with a same sized shaft gonna be enough to stop it contracting?
cheers
yeah we did that with a mates car and it contracted, we then went and bought another bush and it did the same, it was definately the right bush, i think it ended up deing drilled to make it bigger
ta
depends leigh
i have done 2 for an automatic box to crank , and the spigot was steel and just tapped them in as per normal
whereas the one me and luke did for grants car was brass , and yes i had to end up backyard drilling it.
hhrrrmmm
i havent had a problem with brass bushes, the only reason the ID would decrease is if they had a huge interferance fit, which they dont. You aernt just burring the end of the bush a little where you have been hitting it in have you?. You may be able to use something like a clutch aligning tool to fit it , not sure, never tryed.
silly me i assumed the backyard bodgy mechanics i was with were doing it properly, maybe grants crank is smaller because it wasnt molested when inserted
ill buy a couple and see how i go

i didnt, wasnt my car,
so in theory it should just tap in and all should be fine
guess we will find out soon either way

i just tapped mine in with a socket. and it broke.
ended up fling it slightly to fit, then the input shaft of the gearbox wouldnt go in, so i had to file it a little on the inside too.
don't ask me why? the car was a factory manual, converted to auto at one point, and i was converting back. and don't worry, the old spiggot wasnt still in there!
that dummy shaft came out of my mates datto with l18 engine, dont know what box but if anybody wants one they are the same.
nah jet those bolts were a ****in pain, just the initial breaking of the thread. they were on very tight, anyways back to it now
[B]well gee wiz guys i thought all you guys would have known this one its EASY.
if you are converting from auto to manual you will have to take the steel spigot bush out of the back of the crank before you try fitting the cintered bronze bush in there.
I went through all this cripe having the bronze bush shaved or milled should i say when all i needed to do was pull the metal one out and slide the bronze one in.]
The auto bush which holds your torque converter can be pulled out using a great method i divised after about three days staring down the back of the ol crank.
What you do is get your little sister or daughters plasticine and jam it in the hole fill it as much as you making sure you fill it to the brim, then get a big as bolt which fits just to the inside of your metal spigot,using a big lump hammer just hit the end of your bolt and the plasticine will work like a hydralic jack to actually push the spigot out from the inside.
Trust me this works takes about five minutes i reckon,I have told a few people this and they really blew out as they always had to file down there spigots.
hope this helps somebody its one thing i do know about.
i had no luck using grease or similar to get the auto bush out.
ended up getting a big pair of vice grips, gripping onto it very tight, and then hit it clockwise with a hammer. then a few pulls by hand and it came out.
as i said before i still had to file the manual bush to get it in without breaking though...
howd u go lukey
im at work everyday , you should know that , so i cant come round , make it a weekend if u still need my valuable help
