[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2536, member: 82"] As Luthor said, they are repairable it just takes a bit of work. You will need to remove the ram and plug the usual things, hoses and ram plugs (remove the oil from the ram before working on it) You will need to bore out the hole at the back of the ram and maybee the end where it joins to the bobtach. Bronze is good, but on the one i'm doing at the moment i am making hardened pins and bushings, but bronze is a cheap easy alternative. When you re-bush it, make sure you give it new pins too, these will also be worn. Keep the grease up to them and they should last you a fair while. Make sure you put a groove around the bush and drill some holes so the grease can get to the pin before you push the sleeve into the ram. I can post pictures of what i mean if it doesn't make sense, as i'm currently making pins and bushes for mine. [/QUOTE]
