HDI gearbox - cully - 03-11-2014
can the plastic fork arm bush's be replaced without removing the gearbox from the car?
or can the top one be replaced and not the bottom one

Toms306 will know. We did mind but I cant remember.

You'll never get the bottom one done, it's inserted from inside the bellhousing.. In fact, I've got a feeling the top one is too.
RE: HDI gearbox - Paul_13 - 03-11-2014
The top one clips in, in the bell housing area
RE: HDI gearbox - Toms306 - 03-11-2014
No, the top one clips in from above but you need the fork fully removed to replace either one.

That was it.. Couldn't remember

Why would you need to remove the shaft to do the top one? From memory once the arm is removed the bar is smooth so you can just slide the bush up it and slide the new one back down?
There's a giggidy in that statement somewhere as well
RE: HDI gearbox - Toms306 - 03-11-2014
The bar is smooth but I don't see how you could pull it up with enough force to bend/snap the clips? You could put the new one in easy enough though.
RE: HDI gearbox - Paul_13 - 03-11-2014
You'll have the problem of trying to get the release bearing back in place
RE: HDI gearbox - Niall - 03-11-2014
Don't think you would? Cant see that taking that bush out would give you enough space to remove the arm from behind the release bearing!
RE: HDI gearbox - cully - 03-11-2014
as the top one slides down the shaft and clips in the box can you not just break/drill the clips as they will only be plastic then slide the new down over the shaft OooW mrs!
RE: HDI gearbox - welshpug - 03-11-2014
you wont get a new bush in with the shaft in place.
RE: HDI gearbox - Toms306 - 03-11-2014
The clips are inside the bellhousing Paul, theyre at the bottom of the bush so as you push it into place they pop outwards so the bush can't be pulled out again in normal use. I don't know if you could use a slidehammer and screw to pull the bush out somehow though. But chances are they clips would snap and drop in the bellhousing. The release bearing shouldn't come off trying to do this.
Why not Mei? I thought that originally due to the clips needing to push into the area of the shaft but they remembered they have a cut out anyway?
It does seem much less hassle to just pull the 'box off though lol.
