Replacing 2007 Renault Laguna Rear NEARSIDE Axle Bush. Using £40 Removal/Install Tool 🚗

[@CoatsandGaiters]

If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.

Thanks a lot for the pedagogical approach ! ❤

Thank you

Great guide right there! I’ve got to do the rear shocks as well as the bushes so I now know that I can knock them both out at the same time! Love this collection of jobs for the Laguna. Have a 1.9Tdi myself but the jobs remain the same!!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you Will for the compliment, hope these videos help you get them jobs done ok.

[@Wesstx]

Thank you, very helpful, all the best from Russia!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for the comment and good to hear it helped.

Big thanks for your video. I will have to replace this part by myself and you explained very well all the process. Fortunately i have exactly the same car :)

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for the comment and it's good to hear I may have helped you out. Good luck.

I made the change today of the both side. The bolt that was hard to remove has break into its place on the both side.... I saw it looks like 10.9 steel 9 diameter but font know the length. dont know how to remove too the rest of the bolt still in place..

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@ Oh blimey, sorry to hear that. Mine was stuck in place as well and had to keep winding back and fourth to get it out. A snapped bolt isn't going to be fun to remove. Might be a case of drill the bolt out and use and ezi out thread remover. Sometimes lots of heat and penetrating fluid does it.

[@georgehuser4711]

Really nice vid! You did it like a pro mechanic. I just bought laguna 2 Grandtour and of course those bushing are nearly done so I'll have to do them

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for that George. Hope the video helps. I did do the bushings again last year and made some video's on that. Might be more entertaining as things didn't go to plan very well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH_ZkmNqodCSfdU

Hi. Where did you get the removal and installation set? I have trouble finding it. My Haynes manual indicates that that set is only needed when you don't remove the axle from the vehicle. Thanks to your video I can clearly see it is always needed.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Brilliant tooling skills just as filming. Incredible. Thanx. About to do this next week. Just wondering how to get around that bushing press tool. Forexample: Two robust cups, drill 2 holes in them and use a coil spring threaded removal kit, then with a gun you can aply 300Nm easily and literary shoot the old bushing out in a seconds...

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for the compliment. The tool can be bought pretty cheaply for £37 but you maybe able to do it like you say and some determination. amzn.to/3tP3Il7

[@securityman1960]

Hi great video but can you explain why you compressed the rear springs?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

The spring will be forcing the damper apart making it a bit harder to remove. By compressing the spring it takes any loading off the bolts.

[@raymonddeex2891]

great video, but you forgot to mention that the bushes are different sizes and are not interchangeable, thank you anyway video was a massive help.

Amazing and well explained video, do you happen to know if the same process would work on a Laguna 3?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I’d be very surprised if they were different. A quick peek should confirm if they are the same by removing a rear wheel.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Just don't over tighten like I did on my second set of videos when I later replaced the bushes. The bush was in but I assumed it wasn't fully in for some reason. kzbin.infoCOf9ogScTNA?feature=shares

Great video, I don't even have a Laguna but maybe the Megane is similar :D

[@thimohellinga7611]

Wich wrench did you use to unscrew the long bolt that goes in the bushing? Its not a normal 16 mm?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I remember I had the same shock when I saw it and thought I don't have one of those sockets as it's not a torx. Its a standard 16mm socket with the 12 splines as apposed to the 6 sided 16mm sockets. It caught me this one.

Hello, have a question for you. Whats the long pipe called that is between the bushings? Mine has rotten and needs replacing, but i dont know whats the part called. Thanks!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I think your meaning the lower wishbone or control arm.

@@CoatsandGaiters Thanks for the reply, but i ment the long pipe that runs between the axle bolts, mine is rusted and it wont pass the MOT

@@CoatsandGaiters yes i was thinking about welding it, but the bar is so rusted i d have to cut off most of the length of it to fix it. At 7:03 you are removing that bolt from the bushing and that bolt is holding on a long bar thats is connected to the bushing on the other side. I was looking for the name of that part everywhere, even called the local parts store and they didnt even know the name of that bar. My car is a 2005 laguna 2 1.9 disel

On my est I have had to fit 4 sets the car has only done 107000 miles a very bad way to make a car

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Did you fit original equipment parts as aftermarket may not last as long. I think they have gone again on my wife's car but we fitted aftermarket parts.

[@Rooster-Creations]

Nice video. Very clear. Good video quality. Clear voice over. There is one remark. I think that you should tighten the nut (with the bearing underneath it), and not the bolt head. This will give you a much higher tension in the bolt, at the same torque. I have the impression that the axle bush not not seated completely, because of this error. I just saw that you do it in the right way here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2eWlqaLn7B_j9U

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you, will look into that.

[@neilsmovieshd]

I know they are old cars now but I have done these twice and they have gone again it is disgusting Renault have never done a modification on these bushes as they are clearly made wrong and the failure rate unacceptable if this is Renault Engineering and customer care steer clear in future.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

It's funny you say that as the original ones seem to last years but the replacements don't seem the same. Maybe the rubber has changed over the years and degrades quicker.

@@MaNNeRz91 arrrr I understand now lol. Thank you for that, useful to know.

[@MaNNeRz91]

@@CoatsandGaiters not many people realise it and this causes them to prematurely pull the release cable which doesn't always reset itself. You can manually ram the cable (right side I believe) and click it back into the release mechanism inside the unit. People spend hundreds on having the unit repaired and it's as simple as pushing the cable 😆.

[@rafaelk263]

Renaults are like that. Good engines, crappy cars..

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Somehow I missed your comment. Sorry. I think they have electrical gremlins but my wife loves Laguna's and to be honest they don't seem to rust and parts are cheap.
