H701's Bush removal guide

[h701micra]

Thought I'd share my bush removal technique. So much easier than hammer and socket. No fancy gear required. Got a video to show it too.
Tools:
*Angle grinder/stanley knife (cleaner option)
*cordless drill and a 3/4mm drill bit

Technique:
*Grind/cut the lip from the bushes both sides(sorry no picture)
*Drill into outer edge of bush and allow drill to rotate around the bush and sleeve.
*Gently pull every half turn as drill spins round and the bush will work its way out.

Note:
If you find the drill bit coming out top far as you pull the bush out simply drill back in and continue... but it means your pulling too hard

Nice guide bud! im guessing thats a K10 arm?

K11 arms have a metal press fit insert so there's a bit of hammering/ pressing/ sockets & threaded bar needed too

Thanks
Tis indeed a k10 rear tie bar.
Ah I see. Works well for any old bush that's been put in like that though incase theres any on the k11 like I always say. I'm a k10 man
