Hey guys, I have a early (63-64) Morris 850, Im in the process of restoring the car and Im rebuilding the radius arms. I have the radius arm rebuild kit (bearing, brass bush, plastic sleeve) and I've removed the bearing and bush, BUT there is no plastic sleeve, I've tried to use a flat head screw driver on the edges and its not breaking/cracking like plastic should, its metal!..... any ideas? thanks in advance. |

Original sleeve is steel. Keep them, the plastic sleeve in the kits is rubbish. They can crack, then the whole arm casting fills with grease. |

thanks for the quick reply. I've damaged the edge of the sleeve on both sides (with the flat head screwdriver) as i was trying to remove it. would it damage the replacement shaft? what should i do? |

Just panel beat it back as best as possible, won't worry the shaft. |
