Rear crossmember removal

[thomp1983]

If you've got it off take it to a local garage it won't cost more than £10 to have them pressed out then you can clean the bolts up and reuse them and use the saved beer tokens on new bits elsewhere

Can you take pictures of the engine mountings, it's probably dreamland for me but love a V6 in mine

Also LUK N/A clutch FTW! Unless you're going upgraded etc.

Not sure that will work you can't get the press close enough to the bolt head so chances are you will probably bend the frame. Cutting the bolt or burning out is the best way

I've been thinking about this whilst driving around Welsh Wales today & came up with the same conclusion Chris.

Looking at the parts sheet the Bolt, Camber Adjust 48190-32010 £8.20, then depending if it's Left or Right the Cam, Camber Adjust, Left 48190-32010 £12.69 or Right 48196-32040 £12.69 how the plate is more the the plate with a bolt god knows. But either way, doing it again I would cut the bolt, then either soak in plusgas/wd40 if the bush is still good or knock out & replace with a polybush. These prices are a bit out of date but gives you an idea, either way if you screw the subframe it's going to cost £50-£100 for a 2nd hand one.

Thanks for the part numbers, that is a great help. Is there an online parts catalogue, or free/cheap software catalogue?

I've just uploaded the parts PDF to the download section, not sure of it's origins I stole it from somewhere else.

Okay chaps, where can I get a set of polyurethane bushes. I can see them on ebay for ~£290, for a full set for the Mk3, is there anywhere else anyone can recommend?

Didn't bother with the rollbar as figured that was easy at a point later on.

I'll get some better pics when they have been cleaned up and painted.

In order (front at front, left at left etc.)
