BUSHING REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WITH OUR TOOLS
1.
Using the 1” tap, screw it into the bushing. This will cut threads in the bushing
to fit the bushing puller (#BUPU).
2.
Screw the bushing puller (#BUPU) into the bushing. Screw the shaft puller
(#SHBUPU) into the bushing puller.
3.
Using the slide hammer on the shaft puller, remove the bushing.
4.
Drive the new bushing in with our bushing installer (BUIN) and a four to five
pound hammer.
5.
After the bushing is installed, the bore will shrink. Run a 7/8” reamer or 7/8” drill
bit through the bushing to make sure that the shaft will turn freely in the bushing.
