Removing the metal casing on control arms

[breno]

I just pressed out the bushes in some xt130 control arms, they came out easy as.
But the metal casing is still there, how do i go around to getting these out aswell?

if you dont have a hydraulic press try holding it in a vice and use a socket and hammer

[jjoeworks]

If you cant get it out you can use a hack saw. Just put the blade in the sleeve/arm and then assemble the hacksaw to the blade and cut. Try not to cut the arm but make the cut as close as possible then it should just tap out.

Cheers

hammer.... once one sides comes out its easy

apply heat, or just leave it in there and take the metal outer off the new bush.

fulcrum or pedders, if they are top blokes they should do it for free ontheir press as it would only take them like 45 seconds to do each one.

yeah got these out easly this morning, just applied some flame, and 2 hits with a mallet.

But the fucking ke70 struts are too wide for steering arms, o well, luckily i have some ae86 struts coming.

aahhh, so ke70 sturts dont match up to xt130's? gotta look for AE86 strut assembly then?
