Loader arm bush housing.
Application Method
The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet MPT-7. The new bushing had a grease groove around the outside. Candle wax was melted to fill the groove. After Belzona 1111 cured, a torch was used to melt the wax and a grease gun pumped in grease, pushing the melted wax out.
Belzona Facts
Less than $20 of Belzona products were used and the housing was rebuilt in less time than it would have taken to remove the loader arm.
