Removing old, dishevelled ones can be achieved by good old brute force and ignorance with a pair of pliers or grips and a few hefty yanks but replacing them, when you need to preserve their integrity, can be a whole different matter.
The process which involves simply aligning the holes on the bushes with the hanging brackets and then pushing it on, is a frustrating one because it’s a simple task that should take seconds but can test the most seasoned techs.
Simply spraying silicone into the hole and then adding a dab or two to the bracket ensures the chore is easily and swiftly completed without any real challenge.
Because silicone doesn’t have any adverse effect on rubber, the product can be used sparingly on all-rubber items to ensure longevity and smooth and free action.
