I haven't replaced shifter coupling bushings in a long time. Last time I did one, the shop that was pressing the pin back through the rod cracked the cage, and I want to avoid that.
Any tips, tricks, etc. to aid in pushing the pin back in (like chilling the pin, heating the rod end , etc.)? |

Any tips, tricks, etc. to aid in pushing the pin back in (like chilling the pin, heating the rod end , etc.)? Warming/chilling will help and has no downside. I initially tried using a press but it was awkward and had the potential to break the cage if I wasn't careful -- so I used a hammer. I held the rod/cage firmly in one hand and drove the pin in. I did not rest it on an anvil, I just held it. It worked well without a chance of breaking the cage. |
