5.1. 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.
5.1.1 Jack up the vehicle, placing the jack clear of the rear suspension allowing it
to swing down.
5.1.2 Support the rear suspension whilst removing the trailing arm bush mounting
nuts,boltsandwashers.Unclipthehandbrakehoseandassociatedxings.
It may be necessary to remove further fastenings to allow the trailing arm
to fully sweep beneath the vehicle, enabling maximum access and
clearance for the bush extraction tool. Continue supporting the trailing arm
and controlling during lowering.
5.1.3 With the area around the suspension now clear we suggest a thorough
cleantoavoidaccumulateddebrisinterferringwithprecisiontting
processes.Sprayingaproprietory'freerelease'uidontothebushsleeve
and housing may assist with removal in 5.1.7.
5.1.4 Note the orientation of the existing bush before removal. The method of
marking is best decided by the engineer. A scribed line on the bush
sleeve><and a mirrored orientation mark on the housing would give an
accurate orientation, for example see Fig.7. See also Fig.1 (notch in the
arm) and the manufacturer's instructions.
5.1.5 Offer the 15mm 'C' ring on to the pressed steel housing, aligning the gap
with the handbrake cable bracket. This will be held in place (Fig.8) by the
three permanent magnets inserted in the ring. Ensure it is seated correctly
on a grit free face.
5.1.6 Access and adequate clearance is essential for offering the bush press
assembly over the trailing arm and bush housing. Weave the bottom plate
end over the "Tee" plate (Fig.9) and locate the counterbore with the 'C' ring
(Fig.10). Continue to support the opposite end with your hand (Fig.11).
It may be necessary to disassemble and reassemble the press
frame insitu when access is limited.
5.1.7 Two 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 thrust
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 legs'
arenottted.Thesecondpersoncannowwindinthethrustscrew
ensuring concentricity and squareness of both the press frame and the
cylindrical adaptor. With a 16mm socket increase the torque and observe
the bush sleeve projection from the housing, through to removal. Excessive
torque, above 180NM, is not envisaged, but if this occurs, stop and check
alignments. There may be some resistance initially. Continued support to
the press is required throughout, especially when the bush is removed
from the housing as the bush is then free to fall. Remove the old bush, the
press frame and prepare details for insertion of a new bush assembly. An
"exploded" view (Fig.13) supports actions shown in (Fig.8) through (Fig.12)

governed by the studs.

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.
