Hello,

Does anyone have the correct tools for removing the ACE ARB brackets for replacing the ARB bushes?

204-703 & 204-705?

If anyone has them laying around collecting dust, that might lend them to allow me to replace the ARB bushes that'd be great.

I could buy them, but at nearly £500 its not cost effective, on the other hand if I go to a dealer, they'll charge me a fair amount to do the job anyway.

I'd rather have a go myself with the correct tools and not get half way with bodging it with the tools I have.

Any takers? Id supply beer tokens for the borrowing of the tools if someone was willing to lend.

Cheers in advance

Dean

Buy them direct, but still not cheap

I've done them in the past with some flexi ratchet spanners, and a long ratchet and socket. Fiddly, but doable

Thanks for replying Mike.

I've not got any flexi ratchet spanners in my kit, I'll have to invest in some. Otherwise its £260 for the proper tooling.

Can I ask what your take is on a 6 speed gearbox filter and oil change versus a flush?

I've spoke to a couple of garages Maltings 4x4 who combine both processes.

What's your opinion?

I live in Gloucester (south west).

Cheers in advance

Evening Dean
I went for the filter change and new sump
Mine had 120 thousand at the filter change

Flush every time

Update.

Ended up paying a visit to Maltings Offroad in Doncaster, fronts came off well enough, as did the rears.

Went with 'polybush' brand.

Slightly firmer ride, but the hassle of replacement will be years away and will probably outlive the car, creaking all gone now, so happy as a tramp on warm chips.

For reference, they never used and special tooling, or lifted the diff. Was on a 2 poster ramp and dont with normal spanners and wrenches I believe.

I also had the gearbox filter changed and flushed and after a adaptation reset, all runs smooth now.

Cheers
