Haven't driven it yet as I'm waiting on a new element for my fuel filter. They are easier to install than the SP items (which is interesting considering they are a steel shell bush. My only gripe is the locking collar on has one hole for a pin punch to tighten it which means you SOL if yours happens to land facing upwards as mine did.I picked up a $29 Ryobi air hammer from Bunnings. Most good for knocking the bushes out. The first bushes took aprox 5 mins to determine the best method and it was out. Second bush took all of a minute. A quick dress up with a die grinder and buff wheel and she's apples. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90017-control-blade-bushes/page/6/#findComment-1534966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
