| Post subject: | Radius Arms - Bronze Bush removal question |
Hi All, I need to get the bronze bushes out of my radius arms however the manual says I need tool No 18G583 to remove and No 18G584 to install. Does anyone have a short cut of an easy way to get them out with the afore mentioned tool. Thanks Dave |

I thread a hacksaw through the arm and cut a groove through the bronze bush. This relaxes the tension (a second cut continues this even more) onto the arm so it will push out easier. Once this is done done a drift can be passed through the arm to drive the bush out. |

For a hacksaw? An essential tool. Get spare blades! |

I have always used an old selector shaft out of a 3 snc gearbox. there hardened steel so they dont bend and you can hit the bush out easily. |

I screw a 7/8W tap into it, then use a BFH and punch to drive the bush and tap out. You are going to toss the bush anyway...
