He's referring to his Fintail trailing arms.

The manual shows spring compressors being used to compress the springs and remove them. Find ones with longer grippers to do this important function.

As far as the bushings are concerned, be careful which way the front bushings are installed, they only go in one way and they have the markings, in German. I'll scan the M-100 site for proper alignment. The axle mounts aren't that difficult.

Check the axle cuff for tears. The replacements are either split or not.

The swing axle joint may be bad, distorted, and need to be replaced. There are many small parts, so be careful.

The upper cross mount rubbers should also be replaced. There is also a small rubber bushing at the rear axle mount.

Check the EPC for the proper part numbers.

Get the repair CD which includes the Ponton 180/190 procedures. The Fintail procedures build on the Ponton book.
