Hey, just after a bit of help. I have been rebuilding the front and rear ends of an lc torana, and I've been having a bit of trouble getting the rear bump stops into the banjo housing. Any one got any tips and tricks? They are rare spares rubber bump stops.

cheers

Soapy water and a flat blade screwdriver wrapped in masking tape to shoehorn them in with.

Good luck trying to fit them.

I have tried before with no luck.

The bump rubbers were fitted into the housing first and then were spot welded on to the diff housing at the factory .

Is that a fact?

Maybe you could tell us why spare part diff housings didn't come with the bump rubbers fitted.

thanks for all the replies. I had a quick go this afternoon with no luck. But i'm sure I will be able to get them with a bit more persistence and another set of hands. I'll let you know how I go. Does anyone think heating them a bit will help to make them softer?

cheers

tried again this afternoon, no luck whatsoever. Tried crc and monkey spunk rubber grease haha. It just doesn't seem like I can do it with a screw driver. I am going to get a really solid hose clamp tomorrow and compress it and then push it through. Worth a try I guess?

cheers

I had the very same issue with my LC. I sat the bumper stop in boiling water foe a few minutes. Put grease around the mount on the diff.
They went on but still needed some pressure.

I've replaced them on 2 diffs now, and both times I boil them, get one side in the retainers on the diff. Then belt them with a large mallet!

finally got them in today! we were able to use a pipe repair clamp which I about 50mm wide so it compresses the entire rubber. we then used a socket the correct size to sit on the bump rubber and clamped down from the diff tube to the socket which forced the bump stop into the recess. I don't know if any of that makes sense but if anyone else is having great troubles with them I could probably put up a few pictures to help explain.

cheers, thanks for everyones help
