REAR SPROCKET CB360

Bryanj:
Now you are testing my memory! I think they should just slide in, by the time you start all 4 i dont think you have any radial movement

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A agree with Bryan, similar if not identical to the 400 hub once all four studs are in place it's pretty solid.
I replaced mine as the rubber bushes appeared to have gone rock solid so there was no obvious damping effect.

How difficult were they to remove Ted? I took the two suspension bushes out of the swing arm and they were… a challenge.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I found them easier than the rear suspension bushes iirc.
I had a drill bit that was just a tad wider than the rubber section. I basically started to drill into the rubber gap trying to keep the drill away from the center bush. The drill cut into the outer part of the bush metal wall making it very thin. I was then able to remove most of the inner rubber section & inner sleeve then using an old small screwdriver shaft I hammered it into where the drill had thinned the wall of the metal outer . I got better at it with each bush only marking one of the holes with my drill bit. I did soak it with penetrating oil beforehand. Sounds a bit Heath Robinson but it worked. Before you ask I can't remember what bit size I used in my cordless drill.

Craizeehair:
Thank you for that.
