Reference the topic title, I think Mark was referring to the pubic bush. ;) ;D ;D
No experience of that one but I've seen the Sealey version in action and they seem to do the job. :y

I considered buying the Sealey kit. Shame they are not more universal so that they fit a variety of bushes. :-\ :y

If that is the case then I tend to agree with him.
A silky smooth bush is always preferable. :)

I have that kit, if the bush is tight in the arm then it is poss that you will knacker the threaded rod that comes withe the kit, i had to order replacment rods as they are like butter if pressed into hard service.

Thanks for that mate :y
I think what ill do if i need new ones pressing out and in is to take the arms off and take to an engineering shop , hitting it with a hammer takes ages >:(

Getting them out is fairly easy with a lump hammer , getting the new ones back in though (http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/SVT-GT500/smileys/bangheadsmiley-1.gif)
