[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 44677, member: 597"] The sleeves should rotate in the bosses at the rear of the upper frame. And making up a stepped drift as David suggests is a good one, although you really need to support the other side with a piece of tube and a dolly ( heavy piece of steel ) to absorb the hammer blows.....perhaps a better and less destuctive idea might be to make up a simple puller using some threaded rod and suitable spacers, drown the whole assembly in some form of penetrant oil beforehand to help the removal process. Once removed just clean up the bores with a strip of emery tape inserted through a slotted piece of round rod, and spin in a drill. The new bushes will most likely be of stainless, but check that they are longer than the width of the boss when installed.....Just lube nicely with grease, and assemble. Once the whole assembly is together and the nuts tightened, both spring box's and shocker unit should pivot up and down freely. And in future, at periodic maitainance, a drop or two of oil will keep the bushes lubed and free from seizure........Cheers for now.......Greg. [/QUOTE]
