Metal_man_Rob Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 The lower A-arm bushings on one side are shot. Just one side but I need this bike going today so don’t have time to disassemble everything.Wondering if I can change the A-arm bushings without removing the hub assembly again.Figured if I remove the lower shock retainer and pull the bolts from the lower arm, I can drop it enough to replace.Or is it essential that I remove the spindle, and disassemble everything? On a side note... bolts were stuck in steel tube. Used a length of threaded rod (5/8-18 [fine thread]), 3.5” long with a nut on either end. Used a steel shim on either end and loosed the nuts to wedge between the two lower swing arm bolts. Then just turned the end bolts counter clockwise until one popped loose then the other.

locogato11283 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I don't see how you can do it without pulling the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_man_Rob Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I don't see how you can do it without pulling the motor.It was easy. Just had to remove the swing arm, handlebars and the leather tassels, hit it with my purse, drink 18 wine coolers (fuzzy navel flavor) and it was done.
