Re: 2.5 V8 Rear Hub Removal
To disassemble mine, I tried all sorts of pullers, including a 10-ton hydraulic one that exploded.
I then removed the hub with the shaft and used a 30 ton hydraulic press and heater.
When he let go, the explosion was impressive.
Be careful not to damage the thread during all these operations.

Re: Question about Luvax shocks
Unfortunately when I repaired the first one, I didn't take a picture. I will do it for others. The hardest part is getting the key out. I heated with a heat gun and used a press. When it was removed, I fixed the body of the shock on a vice and heated the arm and I turned it to the stop from one side...

Question about Luvax shocks
Hello all
One of my shocks was leaking by the bush of the arm.
I have replaced it with two modern lip seal and there is no more leak now.
But I have a question, are these rubber bushes only for preventing any leaks or they have another fonction, like centering the axle ?
