I should hope its made with gold at that price

[Andy B]

can I use silicone paste? meant to be the best lubricant for rubber... although I have know idea what these poly things are made of 

I may see if my mate has an air hammer as I know he has a good compressor. 

Poly  ..... polyurethane

Silicon grease is good ...... it's what plumbers (should) use on push fit waste pipes etc

I should hope its made with gold at that price

We use it by the (£2000) bucket load at work ......... I'm not saying that any of it might have been redistributed though

Air hammer won't do it, I have one. Nfg.

Air saw might though.

Press only works bones off the car. Which reminds me ( ) first thing you need to check is the rearward wb bush, and then the ball joint. If these are knackered you need to remove the wishbones to repair these, so fitting poly can be done then, making fitting on the car pointless.
IMO, if the rear bush is fubar, you'll need access to a press and drifts, or fit new bones and start a fresh. Although some here have fitted them with a vice. Drilling can also remove them.

Also, the bolts do not need to be tightened wheels loaded if poly are used.
