Re: Rear brake shoes
I was looking for some general purpose grease today, found some and noticed printed along with other stuff, that it was usable up to 5 years from manufacture date. I didnt know that !! Regarding sealed V open bearings, I’m going for open. Apparently ESM supply ones made by FAG, the sealed ones I hav...

Re: Rear brake shoes
Thanks for all comments, one more thing if I may. I’m replacing the bearing while I’m there, however the bearing I have is sealed, whereas the original was standard, I have ordered a standard bearing (open) as I think packing with grease would be better. What is the advantages of a sealed bearing ? ...

Rear brake shoes
Is this assembly correct ? I haven’t got the manual with me, where I’m working, and foolishly didn’t observe the positioning before dismantling. The left hand spring is not sitting vertically ? I think the shoes are in the correct orientation to each other ? I had a struggle fitting them, is why I’m...

Re: Bodywork Repair Recommendation South East
There is a company called Jentree in Uckfield that do body work, they are good but doubtful any more affordable than ESM.

Re: Poly bushes
Nice job Phil, fortunately my steel plates are still serviceable.
Regarding the bush position ———— Blue thinner flange through chassis, Red thicker flange through spring.

Re: Poly bushes
Well there’s always something that niggles a bit, I was still thinking of the variation in the bushes but like all things you can worry yourself silly if you let it. Must be nice for the folk that can say ‘sod it that’ll do’ —— but we’re not all built that way !!

Re: Poly bushes
Just an update, finished the bush replacement, both sides. Took me a while, being fussy. However I’m relatively happy with the end result. Mind you I ache now ! Anyone would think I’m getting old ——- oh hang on, I am !!

Re: Poly bushes
Yes, it’s not as plain sailing as one is led to believe. I phoned ESM and it was suggested that their blue bushes go through the chassis and the red through the spring. Regarding the steel pins, the red (thicker flange) bushes, when assembled are wider than the distance from shoulder to shoulder of ...

Re: Poly bushes
The large blue bushes are for the front of the spring on the van, there is a pin that protrudes from the chassis cross member, this is where the large bush slides over, followed by the spring then the second large bush, washer and nut. Those plates you illustrate should hit the shoulder of the assoc...

Re: Poly bushes
Yes maybe the blue go to the chassis, reds to spring. Thanks for help Stephen, I think van is the same at the rear fittings.

Re: Poly bushes
You can see the bushes for the rear shackles, ( the ones far right and far left ) a pair in blue ( thin flange) a pair in red ( thicker flange) Which go where, —— blue fitted to spring end, or fitted to chassis.
