i have a 10 ton press what was your method? explain please

You need a pressing tool and a receiver tool.

The old standard bush your are pressing out needs a tool slightly smaller in OD to push it out.

You need a receiver tool with a ID slightly larger then the bush to rest the arm on while you press it and to cath the old bush while it is being pressed out.

You can fit the new polyurethane bushes by hand, gease them up and they slip in.

You may need to press the crush tubes in though.

"catch" not cath. You use the larger plate to hold the arm in place. But if you have a press you probably have the right sized fittings

i dont see how u can press them out as they ave a lip 2 stop u from pressing them inwards, and i dont see how u can prres them outward?

I thought you r were talking about the rear arms, that's the picture with the damaged bush. The rear arms don't have a lip on the bush.

The only R32 arms with lips are the front uppers, no pressing required there. I just use an air chisel, takes a few seconds per bush. Put the arm in the vice and gradually work the air chisel in between the bush lip and the arm. Work around the lip and gradually increase the angle on the chisel.

If don't already have an air chisel, you can buy one for peanuts from SupaChepa, AutoBarn, AutoOne, AutoPro etc, very useful tool.

Cheers

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
