BUSHING REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WITH OUR TOOLS
1. Remove the shaft and lower housing.
2. Using the 1-1/8” tap, screw it into the bushing. This will cut threads in the bushing
to fit the bushing puller (#BUPU1).
3. Screw the bushing puller (#BUPU1) into the bushing. Screw the shaft puller
(#SHBUPU) into the bushing puller.
4. Using the slide hammer on the shaft puller, remove the bushing.
5. Drive the new bushing in with our bushing installer (BUIN1) and a four to five-
pound hammer.
6. The bushing will need to be reamed with a 1” reamer or 1” drill bit to allow the shaft
to spin freely. The goal is to have a .001 to .002 tolerance between the shaft and
the bushing.
