HOW TO REMOVE REAR BEAM BUSHES.
1) Get your self one of these..
2) Aim the flame at the bush until this happens..
3) Go and make your self a warm beverage of choice.
4) Come back 30mins later to a nice neat pile of molten rubber
Haha!
I also manage to spruce up the brake calipers and fit the new pads.
As you can probably tell im running out of decent jobs too do until parts arrive

after nicely heating a structural part of the suspension
sure this is wise?
Being such a large lump of steel the heat was drawn away fairly efficiently, it was almost cool to the touch..
Besides, people heat them up too expand them so I dont see this causing any big problems.
(The blowtorch was only used to initially get them lit)
I managed to bash mine out as the fire technique failed for me
C- "should of tried harder"
I have decided to sell my 280mm front brake setup and replace it with a set of HiSpec R114 Racing calipers, paired with a set of 310mm 2 piece, curved vein, race groove rotors & some DS3000 pads.
I also modeled up some billet centre caps for my wheels ages ago and finally got round to getting the old man to cut them out for me.. I quite like them.
I am going to get them anodised titanium colour and probably get the wheels powder-coated pewter grey.
Anyone got any thoughts for wheel colour? Bearing in mind I will have black brake calipers & gold bells..
Here is a few pics of the raw centre caps anyway

RobbieC used these and his cold bite was better on the HiSpec than my 305mm Brembo's with DS2500's...
Look like my centre caps after I sanded them back
Haha Joe has just answered for me!
Yeah I did see yours, gave me the idea to get a wriggle on with mine
