OK - I am a slow learner with ADD and everything.
Do you put the white bushing on the ball and then press the outer ring of the metal piece on? Is that the order? I also understand you put the white bushing in boiling water for ?? 10 minutes? Or do you C Clamp the white piece into the metal drop bar and then press that contraption onto the ball? Thanks for any help! |

Get ready to swear.
Boil the bushings first, then walk them in and around with some assembly lube (vasoline). Might want to use gloves as the hotter they are the more pliable and easier to install they will be. Some like to drill a hole in the end to ease placement over the ball. I've had luck just slathering them with the recommended moly-lube and whacking them onto the ball with a rubber mallet. |
