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.

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 ?
