What size are my nuts
What size are my nuts
Going to start the re-bushing of the 90 at the weekend. Does any one know what size spanner I need for the radius and trailing arms.
Cheers Nick

If it ain't broke, I'd be bloody suprised.

If I were you Nick I'd try slackening and moving the four front and two rear radius arm nuts/bolts to make sure they look like they're free of the centres. If not then you'll end up having to cut them out and it's a LOT simpler to have the replacement nuts and bolts bought before you start the job proper !
Would agree with Dave on this. When I stripped my motor down, although I could get the nuts undone I couldn't get the bolts out as they were stuck fast in the bushes - even with copious amounts of LR tool No 1. I had to grind/hacksaw the bolts to remove the trailing/radius arms from the axles with the rest of the bolt still in the bush. Took them to a local engineering firm to press the old bushes out and the new (Superpro) ones in.
Just a point on the Superpro bushes, the trailing arm bushes are the only split/two piece ones, the rest are one piece. I managed to fit the bushes in everything but the front radius arms (A-Frame, panhard rod, etc) myself just using a vice but as the radius arms are so numb and heavy you either need someone to help you or ideally take it to someone with a hydraulic press.
