Larry's Shee Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Then why woul FAST sell steel bushings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just use a socket that's about the same size as the bushing. Drive it out in a vice. Then press the new one in. It takes about 3 minutes to do it and then it's like brand new. I recommend replacing that bushing every year. For no more than it costs it's worth it when you consider the damage it can do if the clip and washer comes off because the gear has slop in it.

BigRed350x Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I agree with loco, but with the steel bushing you shouldn't have to replace it so often. If you run the stock one with the bronze bushing, I would replace it any time you have the clutch cover off. (within reason). They are cheap, and so are the washers and clips that hold it on.

Its an easy and cheap fix. Replace as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
