My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Nurse Julie:
Either drill out or burn out.
Johnny4428:
Hacksaw method works for me.👍
andy120t:
Is it feasible to drill a few small holes in them to give the remaining rubber a bit of space to flex into when you try to press them out?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The outer sleeve of the bush tend to corrode and hold onto the swing arm surprisingly well.
Drilling around the rubber will eventually enable the center section to come out.
Once you have a level saw cut on the outer sleeve the gap will then enable it to be drifted out.
On my 400, one pressed out easiy, the other fought me all the way, if I'd had a drill bit of the right size & a Pillar drill I would have used that.
Craizeehair:
Thanks for the suggestions, I have burnt the centres out, tomorrow I will take a hacksaw to the outer sleeve and see if I can get that out without butchering it.
The swing arm bushes were a real struggle but I got there in the end, I will be replacing these with bronze bushes.
The CB360 swing arm has no grease nipple, for those in the know, is it worth fitting one and if so, any recommendations as to how / where and any particular grease nipples to go for? I’ve never fitted one before but happy to have a go, feels like there should be one around the middle of the swingarm?
