Thyat puller looks great. Take it your going to use it to press the new one on? Does the book state the pressure required to refit?
I don't think it can be used for reassembly as the claws don't seem not wide enough to fit over the hub flange. The book instructions says to fit the disc on the hub first and with the bearing shell already fitted in the trailing arm, the whole assembly is then then pulled together using a tool made out of a threaded rod with a pair of large (35-40mm?) washers on each end (nuts too, of course). The book is in the car while I'm sitting comfortably in my living room trying to ignore to the cold and windy weather outside, so this is just out of my memory First job, though, when I get the new trailing arms from Politecnic, will be to have the bearings and bushes fitted in the trailing arms. That will require a hydraulic press and pressing tools, so I'll be seeking professional assistance for that. I might bring the hub assembly there too.

Left side trialing arm temporarily fitted. The old trailing arm was 2-3 mm narrower than the new ones. It was clear that the chassis was bent inwards due to this, so I had to push it back in correct shape before fitting the new one. Next step is to fit the drive shaft, hub, brake disc, caliper, handbrake cable, wheel, and get the car back on the floor so I can move it over and start replacing the right side trailing arm, removing the fender, etc, and take the engine out to do the cam chain cover. I'm progressing slowly because it's cold and dark most of the day, so not so much fun working in the garage now /Anders

The trailingarm looks very good. Is this a new one or refurbished? It's difficult working with little space at the sides. How is your back Haha, yes, that's true. My back is good, though. As an office worker, I need to care for it They are new from Politecnic. Beautifully made! They don't manufacture the hub, though, so I need to send that back from the old ones. /Anders

Is there a better way to spend a Saturday evening than in the garage tinkering with the car? I don't think so! I lowered the car down on its wheels on a pair of dolleys a few days ago so I could push it over to the side. I can still make my way around the car on the left. This way I have enough space to work on the right side. Both bolts came out easily once the nuts had been knocked loose and removed. The old trailing arm looks ok, by the way, but it will be good to have two identical and new, good ones on the car. On this side, by the way, the mounting points have not been modified (as expected). Next up is removing the hub and disc, and returning both old arms to Politecnic. Then pulling off the race from the hub, clean the hub, fit hub and disc on the new traling arm, brush clean the chassis around the mounting points, zinc paint and rust protect it, fit the new trailing arm, and get the car back on the wheel ald dolly so I can start working the right hand rear wing
