So I bought the 911 bushings cuz' that's all you can get now days and even though I knew they would be tough I just can't seem to get them on. Short of buying a new coupler w/bushings, cutting and re-welding, who has a trick or two they can share?

I did this a couple of months ago. I used poly bushings that I bought from Pelican.
You have to remove the round pin first. I was able to tap this out with a hammer. First I took a block of wood (a piece of yard timber actually) and drilled a hole a little larger than the pin diameter. Then I positioned the complete coupling on the block with the pin over the hole. I lubed the pin with penetrating oil and using a drift on the pin I tapped it out into the hole. Mine was not seized and it came out easily. Insert the new bushing and tap the pin back into place. If the pin doesn't want to move don't force it or the aluminum cage will be damaged. Mike |
