Retro Z Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 hi guys, can someone confirm if the part number for a l28 spigot bush is RSB520 both repco and burson supplied me the same bush. I've tried everything and have researched for weeks on how to get the bush in. Doesn't seem to fit no matter what i do. -Tried freezing -greasing -hammer and wood etc. have already ruined 2 bushes and need to know what i'm doing wrong. Some people say that some auto box's have a spigot bush already which must be removed, but i cannot see one in the hole. Can the threaded part that the flywheel bolts to be removed? seems like it would fit further in the hole if i could removed the flywheel mount/hub. Engine was formally attached to Auto box now converting to manual. Any help would be great thanks. links to pics. http://img191.imageshack.us/g/img00577201101291811.jpg/ Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhahahahahahaha! Auto to manual converions right? You cant knock the s/bush into the auto flexplate crank spacer as it's smaller' just leaver it off the back of the crank & you'll see you can press the spigot into back if the crank without any problems!

benny Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 +1 for lurches response. I had the same issue!! Quote
Scoota G Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Hmmm those girlie auto's (boxes) cause more than one problem Quote
dazzed Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 have a close look at each end of the bush one end should have a wider shampfer than the other, make sure it fits over the input shaft on the g box first and carefully align it an gently tap it in , dont bash the crap out it like you probably allready have done Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted January 29, 2011 Moderators Posted January 29, 2011 Best way I install the bush is with an old input shaft donated from an old gearbox; just place it on that and insert it into the crank. If you are local, you can use it if you want. Quote
Ben Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 The bush also needs to be oil-impregnated - but my money is also on the flexplate spacer problem Quote
Retro Z Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks guys just done it. Can't believe it was as simple as that. Cheers Tai Quote
benny Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 did you oil-impregnate the brass bush?? You need to!! Quote
Retro Z Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Yes I did. Was rubbing and squezing oil into it before I put it in, just slid right in with a little force. Do I need to put that flex plate thing back on for manual flywheel and gearbox or leave it off? Quote
