SteveW:
Mine is a 74 550. So if I have the plastic bushes does that mean I may not have to change the collar?

I’ll try tightening everything up tomorrow first to see if that helps.

Bryanj:
No mate, the plastic bushes wear the collar just as much as the metal ones and are even more of a swine to get out, big problem is people dont grease the pin enough, i recon maximum 1500 miles or if its raining when you get home every time

Thanks Bryan, I’ll check tomorrow and see if I can get away with tightening for now.

SteveW:
I’ve just undone the through bolt.
All there was a steel washer under the head of the bolt and a steel nut and washer the other end.
I’m guessing I may have parts missing?

The bolt is in good condition at least, I have not tried to get the bushes out.

Bryanj:
From memory there was no washer, have a look at the parts diagram at cmsnl 500 and 550 are same.
The nut is, or should be, a locking nut
