Yes should be fine, the trailing arm will slide out eventually - just be sensible, if you're using a sledgehammer and lumps of iron are flying off then it's probably best you stop. I think I spent about £70 on parts to refurb mine, which included the seals and bearings. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Yes they were all from Pug. As I was sacrificing my torsion bars for bigger ones I actually hammered the threaded ends of those, which did the same job without having to damage the arms themselves. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
