I’m under no illusions about my abilities, and consider myself a pretty average home mechanic,You're not grasping this now are ya
That alloy bush, in two pieces, wanted removing first. The left to the left, the right to the right. Joint between them in the middle. The O ring would come away in two pieces ... it's held in a groove on the outside, and a groove on the inside. The alloy central bush wants to come out (left side to the left, right side to the right, butt together in the middle)
I would be letting someone that knows what they're doing to do the job for you ... you clearly don't
Once those alloy bushes are removed, ya know, the central alloy bush that the main bolt goes through, you can remove the O rings without damage, thence the circlip, thence the bearing
Simples ....
I do however get satisfaction from doing work myself rather than paying someone else to do it, so if no specialist tools are required I’m happy to have a go. I’m not too proud to ask advice from those more experienced than me.
As my knackered old circlip pliers couldn’t get to grips with the circlip I referred to, and whilst waiting for new ones to arrive I thought I’d ask for some advice from those with more knowledge than me.
When someone isn’t understanding something you need to see it from their perspective. You on the other hand appear to be the sort of person who when the foreigners don’t understand what you are saying thinks the solution is to just talk more loudly.
I was clearly looking to learn something whereas you took this as an opportunity to wave your dick around. What a condescending little shit you are.
