To replace the 4 pivot bushings please use the following steps:
Follow steps outlined on the previous page under BUSHING SERVICE for disassembly instructions
to gain access to each set of horst link bushings.
1. Insert the blunt ended punch into the bushing
housing.
2. Line the punch up with the bushing lip.
3. Tap the punch with your mallet.
4. Tap the bushing in the + pattern (1, 2, 3 & 4) as
shown so that the bushing slides out straight.
5. Continue in the above order until the bushing is
fully removed.
6. Repeat steps 2-6 on the remaining bushings: 4 Horst-link bushings total.
7. Lightly grease the new bushings before installation.
8. Hold the bushing housing between the vice jaws.
9. Position the new bushing against the housing, making sure that the bushing is not cocked.
Press only one bushing at a time.
10. Slowly close the vice jaws against the bushing face. Make sure that the bushing is going in
straight.
11. Continue closing vice jaws until bushing face is flat against bushing housing.
SPECIAL NOTE
: A C-clamp, wood clamp, hand-held
vice or similar clamping tool can be used in place of a
vice, provided that proper action is taken to ensure that
the bushing is pressed in straight and the vice face is
flat and wide enough to avoid damaging the face of the
bushing.
12. Repeat steps 8-12 for opposite bushing.
13. After the bushings have been replaced, lightly
grease the insides and faces of the bushings.
14. Follow steps outlined above under BUSHING SERVICE for re-assembly instructions.
