Try to get a good gripper or a pipe wrench on the sleeve and see if you can twist it.
Else have to resort to an angle grinder and grind one side of the sleeve until it breaks free. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

You could try grinding along the side of the bush obviously not touching the mounting pin too much.... Or heat?
Otherwise a new mount, not too expensive |

I’ve got three used and one new rear shock mounts and not too far away if you decide you want to replace and want one at short notice. Just Pm me.

heat and hope or grind off the old one. it's a common issue
easiest way is take off the shock and bracket and do it on a bench or in a vice. i have spare top brackets over the hill in lancashire if you need a set |

Thanks All.
Really helpful. Also replacing springs so it’s also been a challenge to remove the bottom retaining plate as totally rusted, but cut through bolts eventually and thankfully had thought ahead to get new plates and bases. Wish I had done the same with the upper shock mounts…. can anyone tell me what size bolts are also needed here as they are no doubt also going to need cutting off! Thanks again Rob |

Huge thanks to StressedComa, who kindly took time out to drop off two brackets. A gent.
There was no way I was getting the old metal bush sleeves off! All back together and lesson learnt…(?) Cheers |
