BA- Replacing Centre Diff Bush Through Spare Wheel Well?

[Camsta97]

Not sure if this would work or not, but I've jacked the car up this afternoon and spinning the wheels with the car in park is causing the main centre diff bush to bang up and down, now from what I can see I would be able to easily access and change that bush if I was to cut a hole in the spare wheel well to gain access? will this work ? because I only need to change the main rear one and id rather not have to pull out the entire cradle

Yes it will work, but...  (Iv'e seen it before but it looks like crap & I dont know if it will cause problems with a roadworthy)

yep, it works... weld the piece back in or with a hinge mechanism or something (if you want to use it again). It's not a concern if you cover it with the sound deadening stuff underneath haha

Hahah sweet, what's the chances of the big bolt breaking apparently it's common and I'm assuming if I snap it whole cradle gotta come out anyway?

If you have a lot of power and you put in a solid/hard bush, then yes, it can break the bolt. But with a bit of "softness" in the bush, then the bush takes the forces mostly and it gets a bit buggered quickly. The weld-able twin bush diff hat is the way to go to fix this problem completely.
