I'd really appreciate any tips that will help me get new stops installed on the rear of my Mach 1. When I bought it one was missing and the other looked like it was 42 years old..... I now have two new ones ready to be fitted and have had an initial unsuccessful attempt. It is just a question of some lubrication, a long handled screw driver and persistence?

Thanks so much in advance

 
i smacked mine in with a rubber mallet.

but grease is a good idea.

:D

 
Well I finally did it today and fitted the $#$#$## rear bump stops rubbers - I've been driving around without them since April.....

The combined effort of the wire wool and grease, smacking them with a mallet, long screwdriver, sweat and strong verbal encouragement won in the end. Took may be 1 1/2 hours all told. But I'm pleased they are in.
