people are now recommended, with one continuing to support the
press frame and the other positioning the adaptor (Fig.12), stepped
end inside the bush sleeve. The shoulder of the stepped end will offer
t
hrust to the steel bush sleeve. Please note for the removal of the bush,
360° orientation of the adaptor is not important and the side ‘depth control
ensuring concentricity and squareness of both the press frame and the

c lindrical adaptor. With a 16mm socket increase the torque and observe the
bush sleeve projection from the housing, through to removal.

There may be some resistance initially. Continued support to

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
gripped and that datums (Fig.7) are clearly marked.
3. 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.
