What is the best way to remove bushings and pivot shaft? Is it worth the effort and what would you suggest for replacement-Delrin, rubber, poly-graphite? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

You're in for a treat. Not a real hard job, just gets a little messy. The shaft simply drives out with a BFH. Make sure you protect the threads with a nut or use a lead hammer.
The bushings have become one with the TA and come out with heat. Run a torch over the outside of the bushing housing and once the bushings soften up they'll slide right out. DO THIS OUTSIDE! because as soon as the bushings heat up they'll smoke like crazy and you don't want any part of it. I used polycarbonate bushings. if you use them make sure you hone them for a snug (not tight) fit and install grease zerts or they'll squeak. Good luck. Tom |
