Hi there

Do these normally come ready to fit or do they have to be squeezed to release oil.

If they are brand new, I would assume they come empty, ready to fit.

if they arent new, then it would be wise to squeeze them down to remove any oil.

They are new, but rock solid and i thought that normally you should be able to squeeze them down by hand.

nope, you'll normally need to put them in a vice to get the oil out ime

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!
