So, how does one remove and then reinstall the rubber bushing from the supporting mount? I have a press, but I'm scratching my head about how best to tackle this. Can't seem to find any relevant threads on this topic...

As far as design, we basically split the bushing and made a very tight tolerance for between the parts. It will function as one once assembled.
The polygraphite was another way for us to up the density of the part while maintaining the qualities desired form the rubber. These should produce a notable improvement over the old ones. |
