Hello from NZ again,
This time I'm doing the rear suspension re-bush project on the 1750 GTV.
Have got everything off the car except the trunnion. I don't plan to remove
the outer trunion attachments from the car body (just fit new end-washers,
using the cut-a-split trick), but I do need to separate the centre mounting
at the diff, to change the bushes there.
Have removed the castle-nut from the diff-stud, but am having trouble
removing the top-hat washer or nut that sits between the castle-nut and the
bush. It's got two spanner-flats on it (not six), but it won't budge even
with a big spanner and a hefty heave.
I gather that this top-hat is a washer rather than a threaded nut, and
should slide off rather than needing to be unscrewed. Am I correct there
please?
And if it is just a sliding washer, it must be well frozen on, so are there
any tricks for getting the little blighter to budge? Heat? Pry-bar? Puller?
Soaking for a week with penetrating oil? Cuss and swear a lot? Split it
apart with a nut-splitter?
Thanks all!
Graham in NZ (GTV, 156, lotsa Alfasud)
