Hi all
not posted on here for years !
I am replacing the bushing (socket) on my gear linkage.
Its a 93 T4 2.4d
How do you get the ball into the socket
Can it be done with the linkage still in the van ?
I have managed to get a G clamp on it, and am tightening it up, but its pushing the socket (bushing) out of the bracket.
I have give up for a bit - to see if I am doing it all wrong, and the linkage has to come out.
anyone done it ?

I personally install them on the car. A little silicone grease and careful squeeze with a channel lock pliers usually does the trick.
Thanks
just come in from doing it :)
I packed out the back with wooden blocks, so that the socket couldn't move - then with a LARGE leaver and a pivot, it popped in.
Its much easier when your not tired, and can think straight !
