Has anyone fitted one of these to an hdi, i have been looking at the one they do for diesels.
And when you knock the old one out can it be knocked out either way, or will it only go one way? Its just i will be doing it using a pit so it would be easier to knock it out towards the drivers wheel, rather than removing the wheel and doing it that way.
Cheers Titch

well, little jonny has a lower mount he made from an old mallet, which will be bloody harder than the powerflex one, and its fine, much smoother than i was expecting
also, you can twat them out any old which way

Im not sure you can knock them out either way, i think there is only one way they go.

That's what i was afraid of as i will be doing it using a pit and it would be much easier if i could knock the old one out towards the wheel rather than the other way.
Anyone know for sure?

I cut the rubber out of mine, put a slice in the edge and peeled it out, i followed the guide, just make sure you use sharp blades and its a pretty simple job.

How did you remove the outer casing bit?
Looking at the guide you saw through it and then bend the edge up and knock it out.

Yup, thats exactly what i did, got an electric saw with a lil metal blade so took about two seconds, then just hammer and screw driver to bend it in on itself, just fell out after that.
