locogato11283 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just use a socket the same size as the bushing and press it out. Then install it the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then install it the same way. so its as easy as that huh? should i freeze the assembly or heat the outside or just leave as is and press it out? also does it make it easier if i push it one way instead of the other?

locogato11283 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've never frozen or heated any of mine. It has to be pushed out towards the back of the basket. The bushing and kick start gear are one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasergroff Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 yeah thats what i am going to make as well.im guessing you turned down a piece of steel or aluminum that fit nicley inside the brass sleeve and left a little lip to catch the edge on the outside of the sleeve?at least thats what im going to do so it will not distort the brass in any way.just have to find some time to get to my buddies house to use his lathe lol.can you post a pic of how your tool looks?
