It seems EVERYTHING from Citroen is a Three day "Special" on C5's or a Two Week wait on Xantia's

Hi, Iam trying to push out the frontal bush on my hydraulic press.......because of the shape of the wishbone, Iam finding it difficult to hold the wishbone at the correct position. do any of you guys use a jig ? maybe something else ? thanks in advance Terry. #-o

I used 3 bits of scrap alloy plate. I had 2 stacked just on the lip of the wishbone right by the bush. The other one was slid along the arm until it sat flat.
To put the new one in I couldn't get it into the press so I used a large vice to squeeze it in.
