Is it a typo ID 20mm as I couldn't find this size on Brett's site? They have 22mm x 40mm x 46mm as per link posted earlier.

22 is correct. The Fuso part is MB025153, 22x46.6. I just installed this exact part from Brett's and can verify that it fits. The color I received was green, not black as shown on their web page. Maybe it will change color as it ripens.

Hi All
Thank you so much for your help (really would have not attempted this without the helpful comment here), I removed the busted bushes and replaced with a couple of spares. Learnt a new trick, when the pin would not go back through the spring, start the engine and turn the wheels, straightened up the spring and the pin went straight through.
Back on the road and heading north from Alice Springs.
Cheers for now
Steve

Did you just do the pin or the shackle as well? I had more trouble getting the shackle to line up / slide into position.
Since I did the job at home I had access to my hydraulic spreader, which made moving things around much easier.

Replaced bush only as bushes and pins replaced 6 months ago. Been keeping grease up on regular basis and this protected pin.should now last until we get home and can replace all bushes on all springs. Turning streering wheel lined up pin perfectly, which I had though of doing that an hour earlier. Lol

Yes, they are had it. Looks like they have been hammered into submission. The other side bushes are probably not much better. Moving the steering to move the spring, who would have thought that (new to me).

Surprised me too, but it was enough to get the pin in there straight. :smiley_drive:
Just checked my bushes and this job is now on my to-do list. Can you describe the issues you had installing them on the shackle end and how you used the hydraulic spreader to resolve them? How long did it take you to do the job?
