REPLACING A PRESSED BUSHING
NOTE:
You may need the following tools:
Press, hammer, punch, pry-bar, "Step-Tool"
Use the following as a guideline for repair:
1. Ensure the area and frame are properly secured,
supported, and safe to work on. Safely remove the
pin(s), cylinder, and/or components necessary in
order to access and work on the damaged bushing.
2. Remove the existing bushing using required tools. In
some instances, you may need to cut the damaged
bushing in order for easier removal (use proper
safety precautions and try not to damage other
components if using this method).
3. With the bushing removed, clean and prepare the
location for the new bushing insert.
5. Ensuring the bushing is properly aligned, press into
hole (preferred method) or hammer into position by
striking the stepped tool.
6. Continue to install until the bushing edge is recessed
in to a distance of 5/16" to allow for the outer seal
to be properly installed. Do not exceed this depth.
7. Repeat procedure for bushing on opposite side.
8. When both bushings are installed
to the proper depth, install new
seals.
9. Re-assemble all other necessary
components.
Note:
It is recommended to use a mixture of "
Dish
Soap and Water"
as a lubricant on the outside of the
composite bushing.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use
oil or
grease
on outside or inside of composite bushings.
