Bushing Removal (CONT.)
Bushing Removal Instructions
A. Install 25.4mm Removal ring on the
shiny, smaller diameter threaded shaft.
Be sure to install the ring with the
tapered, chamfered end first, followed by
the long slide tube. This tapered end
leads the tool through the bushing.
B. Start the procedure by removing the
Dust/Wiper seal with a screwdriver,
prying it out.
C. Insert Removal tool past the upper
bushing and then stop. It is important to
pull one bushing out at a time. Push the
slide on the threaded shaft down
towards the removal ring. Hold the
casting with one hand and the slide
hammer with your other hand. Now
move the slide hammer in a motion away
from the casting and repeat this action
until the bushing comes out.
D. For all other leg diameters: use the
larger diameter (dark colored) threaded
shaft and repeat steps A-C.
