CB750K2 Swinging arm bushes

(1/2) > >>

PHILIP2908:
Hi all,
Having a laugh a minute this weekend trying to get the old bushes out of the swinging arm; heat, hammers and swearing have all been used to no effect,
Q 1. Anybody got any ideas?
I'm fast approaching the point where I'm going to hacksaw a slot in each bush to get them out.
As recommended, I bought some bushes from Frank in Germany and they are totes different to what I have taken off.
Q2. Do I discard the felt washer, the washer with the rim and the dust cap? Or have I got the wrong parts? They are also sloppy on the central machined tube they sit on so it looks as though I'm going to need a new one of these too.
As always, thanks in advance for any wisdom.
Phil

You don't use the felt washer, just the dust caps. Have fitted more than 50 of these in the past year from Frank. Post some Pictures Phil.

Bryanj:
Fit the bushes before you try the pin as they compress slightly BUT yes the pin tends to wear at least as much if not more

Trigger:
I would soak the bushes in oil for at least 24hrs before fitting. If you need the clearance measurement, I have it somewhere.
