MK1 Morris Mini Rear Strut to Radius Arm Dust Cover Replacement

[ERNGOR]

The dust cover on the strut to radius arm has come adrift and it either need to re-attached and made secure or replaced.

I have tried to re-attach but cant get may hand in.

What is the best way of doing this with the minimum of dis-assembly.

I am not familiar with this form of suspension and have never done any work on it before.

Is the dowel displacer to strut a solid connection to the strut or is a a sliding unit

Can I assume item dowel displacer screws into the Hydrostatic unit - do I need to unscrew this to carry out my repair and separate it from the strut. If so is how far has it is screwed back unto the unit and is it critical to the suspension set up.

I should add the whole suspension unit has been replaced by others during restoration some 1500 miles ago.

I tried to attached a parts breakdown but unable to do so - file too big.

Thanks Gordon
