Spoony Member 250 Member For: 14y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 28/05/17 09:32 PM Share Posted 28/05/17 09:32 PM I picked up some ebay poly rear bump stops. I've had no luck getting them to pop over the mounting lug/knob. So far I've tried greasing them up, trying to use a scissor jack between suspension arm and stop, no luck. I also tried putting using a large socket that locates in the stop but wide enough to no fall not the stop then jacking up that section of suspension. I got to a point where it looked scary/risky and stopped. Any other tips for young players?

Mine slipped straight on.

They will become pliable that way... Edit - obviously use caution, dont leave them in there to long etc etc...

Will give it a shot, cheers. 16 hours ago, arronm said: Are you sure you have the correct part. Mine slipped straight on. Yeah pretty sure, was yours poly or rubber though? I'd imagine rubber would pop over easy.

That is normally the easiest way to do it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93256-how-to-get-new-poly-bump-stops-onover-the-chassis-knoblug/#findComment-1640317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after many sketch random slips managed to lever them on with a long tyre lever bar.
