Pressing them out is a pain in the ass, you gotta find a similar yet slightly smaller circular metal something to press them out with. I can spend all day walking around looking for odd size sockets to make jigs :lol: Plus there is f**k all external metal on lower engine mounts to brace on the press plate.

The only Ralliart lower one that is still available is the front (which is off a Evo (IV - VI)
Ralliart part number: RA19718K1

The rear one was off the Evo I - III. It's no longer produced.
Last time I spoke to Meek (because the c**ts never return my calls) they were looking into doing a production run of their own on them... but that was 12 months ago.

One of my best mates works at Diebold and is in charge of the plasma cutter. He says he has offcuts of pretty much every diameter metal piping you vould imagine so all he needs is a diameter and I'll get a jig lol

Ah I know what you mean! I have an old mount that has been hollowed out and I use that to press in and out the mounts from the bracket!! So 5 minutes in and out! haha.
