Doing a manual conversion

I CANT GET THE SPIGOT BUSH OUT!!! F**KIN PIECE OF SH*T.

Sorry, calming down. been trying to get the bush out all day....literally. Its not working. It may as well be welded in there.

tried grease...failed...very much failed. all i got was grease in my eyes and hair.

Tried wet paper...don't ask

Tried puller...still isn't coming out...hasn't even moved.

Can i just leave the auto one in there? hit it with a bigger hammer? stab it with a knife? shoot it with a gun?

Anyone with a smart idea on how to handle this situation....let me know..please. because Im going crazy.

Hey mate. I took mine out last weekend. It took me a while. But I got a puller and pulled it out. If that fails there is a post

on how to remove it. They said to use a 16mm bit of dowl aprox 1mtr long fill it with greese and hit it.

However i found the puller very effective

Goodluck

we just use plasticine, the cheap play-dough like stuff. pack the hole full of it, then get a bolt big enough in diameter to take up the whole space (but still not touch the sides) then hit the bolt in there lightly with a hammer and it comes out piece of cake. you have to keep filling the hole with more plasticine as the bush comes out

Die grind the bastard! For the grease method to work the bar needs to fit in the bush really neatly so when you fill the hole with grease and hit the bar it acts like a hydraulic ram forcing the bush out.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
