What polys? I was thinking of those Merkin ones who's name slips my mind at the mo, proflex? Used them on my tratter pan hard rod and was impressed thus far, pricey though.

You guys are all mad 
Insist of having air springs due to the ‘extreme comfort’ of slamming it to floor with the touch of a button, then swap all bushes with hard squeaky bits

Nearly finished... Just got to take this bugger back to its owner and I'm done... Then shopping and dropping by the hospital to see Mrs Piercy and give her some clothes and stuff.

On me tratter, slitting disc in a grinder between axle bracket and bush, is that possible on a 38?
That's not the issue, getting the nut off the rear is problematic!!
Oh and when nyloc say nuts are multi use.. bollox!!
That's why new nuts and bolts. Just grind the sods off. After 20 years everything will be solid.
I used a metric socket and an AF spanner (because it was longer)
Didn't like the idea of cutting the nut off for fear of damaging the thread on the radius arm!! Plus i didn't see any nuts on the island website
so they need to be reused at least for now. Got some thread lock until i get new nuts tomcat59alan

Good clean up with a wire brush, plenty of penetrating oil,the correct socket and a long cracker bar, taught mine who was the daddy.
I've got a 3 foot breaker which i refer to as the Boss plus a few rather long spanners. Still effing tight right up to the last half turn of the thread. Stopped for a breather when the spanner got warmGood clean up with a wire brush, plenty of penetrating oil,the correct socket and a long cracker bar, taught mine who was the daddy.

That's your problem, don't stop when the nuts hot it'll cool and get a grip of the thread again.
