Hi guys any one advise on how to remove diff bushes from subframe before it goes of to powder coaters . I haven't got use of a hydraulic press can I drift them out with socket or such like, thanks .

Drill ... Chisel .. Lump Hammer ... Blow torch ... Plenty of Tea and some patients ..

 

Remember to only Remove One Inner Rings .. Not the Very outer ...

Ok thanks same hassle as subframe bushes then .

the 2 rear ones are no where as hard to do like the main ones .. the 2 on the diff its self there dead easy

Just a update on this took these out today 30 mins both sides . 1st set fire to bushes with blowtorch then let burn for 10 mins hit metal centre out of bush when alight .let burn some more then scrape all rubber away when alight put fire out but not with water while still hot hit bush metal casing with hammer and chisel untill it spins around in the housing and drift it out of the subframe .no cutting needed .

Also worn of warning don't throw away the factory bush cups from the nissan bushes as the energy suspension poly ones say reuse these cups .

But if you do throw them away. You can fit solid aluminium bushes from Z1. [emoji12]

Are these not a bit harsh do they transmit noise from the diff into the car .

Yes and yes but my car is for the track and comfort, noise are low on my list of priorities. I also have solid diff bushes so I can hear the diff very clearly.

That's the set up I've switch too, hopefully I will notice a difference.

do you mean a solid subframe / diff bush set up?

Yeah. In fact the only non solid joints I have now are some polybushes on the hubs oh and I've retained the stock lower arm bushes and ball joint apparently they make a big difference to comfort in a negative way without such a large difference to handling. Plus I ran out of money and time lol.
