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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
