Anyone have an easy way to remove the bushings at the ends of the differential? Also is there a way to save on tickets to Silverstone? I'm Planning to attend and perhaps meet up with some T wizards. Thanks Bob TC 6198

There is probably a better way but I just use a hacksaw blade (alone or in a special holder) and drag it over the bushing to cut through. Once the bushing is split, tap it to loosen it if it isn't already loose and then pull out. The bushing is soft so cutting through it without scoring the housing is easy but do be careful.

I have a disc a couple thousandths of an inch less than the bush diameter, made of Hardened steel on the end of a 1/2 inch rod. The other end of the rod has a bolt - The rod has a sliding weight of a couple pound - Put disc in axle behind bush and tap out moving the disc around the inside of the bush.
