Replacing bushings

Once the swing axle has been removed the bushings fitted to the rear frame must be replaced. Dismantling is carried out using a standard drift, see ”Special tools”.

Assembling new bushings is carried out using a drift, see ”Special tools”. Ensure the grooves in the bushings run horizontally. It is important that the outer edge of the outermost bushing is flush with the outer edge of the hole.

Lubricate the bushings with a lithium-based grease.
