bushes

Post by joel HJ60 »

How hard is it to replace the bushes at the top and bottom of ur shiocks? i looked at mines today and all of my shocks can be wiggled due to the shitty bushes.

old ones should not be that hard to dig out if there worn
to replace is easy if you have a vice ,just open the jaws to fit the shock 's eye and the bush and clamp together
or just fight three rounds getting them in buy hand
also smear some grease on the peg and the bush ,it makes them easy to slide on

if its the pin threw the bracket type undoing the nut maybe difficult
i have had to replace the shock due to having to grip the shock with a large set of multi grips wich crushed the shocky shaft cover

best to soak the threads in wd40 n then try

A quick cheap fix is to use a washer on the eyelet ends(between the bush and the bolt), lasts a few months til ya get around to new bushes.
If the top is too tight, use multi grips or stilsons on the top(strongest part) of the outer guard, esp if you;ve snapped off the top of the pin. :oops:
