Default Re: Drive Sprocket Support Bearing

Well I got the bushings out of the 1-2 reaction drum.

I ended up using a small chisel with a 5 lb hammer and starting tapping around the bushing 180 degrees of each impact for about 3 minutes. No gouges at all, so I think it worked out pretty well. I was looking for a way to install them when I realized my 34mm socket is to small while my 36mm socket is to big. Tomorrow I'll probably buy a 35mm socket and it should fit pretty snug and then I'll just pound them in, after I first pound it in with a piece of wood. I'll probably stick the rest of the bushings in the freezer later tonight as that might make it a bit easier reinstalling them. If that doesn't work, then I might take a MAP gas torch to the assembly just to warm it up a bit. I really need to find a bushing driver set local.

I got the idea of this site
