NOTE! It may be necessary to disassemble and reassemble
the press frame insitu when access is limited. A 17mm
spanner only required, the clear opening height is
governed by the studs.
6.1.
PLEASE NOTE! Volvo nearside bush assembly
is designed to mount the exhaust hanger (3 studs). See Fig.6 and Fig.14
. Refer
also to respective manufacturer's service manual, or proprietary manual when using these instructions.
6.1.1 Clean the bore of pressed steel bush housing of any residual oil or grit. No lubricant or 'free release fluid' is to be present on the bush
sleeve or the housing bore.
6.1.2 Place the new bush "Tee" plate inside the adaptor and locate the bush sleeve over reduced diameter and shoulder. It will only fit squarely
one way. The slots in the cylinder are offset about the axis, with the smallest adaptor segment the same side as the rivet stud shown in
(Fig.14). Clamp the depth control side legs (Fig.14) using the supplied M8 screws with a 6mm hexagon key. The legs should be
symmetrical about the fixing hole, but it is worth checking that there is equal projection to obtain even thrust. Check that the bush is
gripped and that datums (Fig.7) are clearly marked.
6.1.4 Place the 35mm 'C' ring on to the trailing arm (Fig.16), rotate the ring to clear the handbrake bracket. The four integral permanent magnets
will hold the ring in place.
6.1.5 Two people are now recommended, with one placing the adaptor and bush in (Fig.14) over the housing bore. See the orientation datums
for correct alignment (Fig.7). The second person can offer the press frame over the entire group of items shown in (Fig.16) ensuring the
bottom plate locates over the "C" ring. The second person can now wind in the thrust screw ensuring concentricity and squareness of
both the press and the adaptor. With a 17mm socket increase the torque and observe the bush sleeve progress through to correct depth
insertion. Excessive torque, above 180NM, is not envisaged, but if this occurs, stop and check alignments. Observe closely the depth
control legs, when they touch the trailing arm face resistance will increase abruptly, the bush is now fully inserted, see (Fig.15) telescopic
view.
DO NOT
attempt to tighten any further.
6.1.6 With the possibility of heavy objects falling, special caution is required whilst unscrewing the press and removing the entire kit.
6.1.7 Clean and lubricate components before returning the kit to the carry case.
6.1.8 Refer to 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and manufacturer's or proprietary manual to refit the suspension, trailing arm, handbrake cable and return the vehicle
to the road for test drive.
