300Tdi and later vehicles have wider radius arms which require the longer bushes.
Other than this the arms are all the same. Narrow and wide versions cannot be interchanged without also changing to the matching axle casing. The same applies to Discoveries which are a useful and cheap source if you want a spare set to rebush.

You should have the wide arms, change the bolts too!
I think that YouTube guy is a dunkle and a bluffer doing it for the £££ and free parts  “ok ummm, ok ummm, ok ummm, right, right, ok, ummm, sooo, right ok....”

Why didn't he just press the bushes out while the radius arm was in the press? Yes I appreciate he was trying to show alternative methods but I notice he didn't do anything other than suggest sawing through the bushes. Which, having tried it in the past, is a lot more difficult and time consuming than he suggests.

I suspect because you might need way more than a 10 tonne press to push them through. I seem to recall in one of the Land Rover magazines in the work shop section they noted that you needed over 20 tonnes of pressure to break the rusty seal. 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

Without putting too fine a point on it that sounds a lot like typical journalistic bowlocks. Did mine last week, the greatest force needed to get one moving was about 8 tons, the rest all shifted before it got to 5 tons

10 tons has always sufficed for me. You may need to leave it under pressure for a while and then they come out with an enormous bang !

Dont really think that starting to slate Land Rover Toolbox videos is appropriate or necessary.
The person who 'presents' them is a long served Land Rover enthusiast who I think has made a lot of very informative and useful videos on his youtube channel. Not sure if Trailerfitter is on this forum but he is/was very active on others i have been involved with over the years. He is not a 'journalist' nor i believe has ever proclaimed to be a presenter as such, just an enthusiast. Each episode has without doubt required a lot of setting up time and no doubt a number of takes. Obviously he has been sponsored by a number of manufacturers/suppliers over all of the videos for provision of parts/tools etc. I believe he has now stopped making them as the time commitments were too much. Of course anyone who thinks they can do better, especially if you want to finance all of the parts and production personally is welcome to set up their own channel!

A 10 ton press can do the bushes no problem it's just the right technique to prep the bush so it pushes out square You can run round the edge with a chisel then bung them in the press. None of this cutting and burning malarkey. Granted that's how I do series chassis bushes as I can't seem to lift the vehicle up to sit on the press.
As for those who give chris a hard time well yes sometimes his info isn't quite on point and he should of asked permission to use one of my pictures (or at least credit) among others he's harvested off the net to make a point. But You stand in front of the camera and try to be 'presentable' and convey the right info whilst keeping it light and entertaining isn't a natural thing to some of us.

That's what these things are for:- 
Press frame for Enerpac (and other equivalent compatible) 10-tonne hydraulic cylinders. Don't let the photo fool you, this is a big, heavy (and expensive, at upwards of £500 without the hydraulics) tool, but it does the job perfectly. Last edited by blackwolf on 5th Nov 2018 9:31pm.
