Bushings pressing out ! So here's a good reason all the Honda OEM bushings are going in the bin. 100k+ miles and sitting for a period of time. Crusty rotten bushes. Won't tolerate it, so out they come! Same bush set up in the hydraulic press. Oversized round shim below to press the bush down...

Suspension tear down. Front knuckles. Continued on from previous post, on to the front. Front knuckles set up in the hydraulic press, pushing out the hubs to gain access too the wheel bearings. Once pressed the front wheel bearings are destroyed, this gains acess to the disc dust sheilds...

Thanks for the reply, biggest concern currently is finding the correct front end making it correct for a face lift car. Need bonnet, wings, bumper, lower valence, fog lights as the car has the switch. Headlights aswell but I will probably buy new. Luckily the colour of the car is in my favour...
