I have bot some MX comps that need new bushes.
You may be lucky enough to be able to pull them out by hand – maybe after heating the lowers up with hot water but mine would not budge.
So….
having stripped the fork lowers of everything I could – including the seals – I then obtained a thick washer with an OD that was just down on the OD of the top bush (c32mm).
I then filed a pair of flats on the washer diameter oposite & parallel to each other so that across these flats measured .5mm less than the ID of the bushes(29.5). I could then pass the washer through the bush, turn it so that it was covering most of the bushes lower diameter and hammer the bush out using a drift long enough to go through the hole in the base of the fork leg and reach the waser.
I used a 3/8 socket extension with something wedged in the square hole to engage in the washer’s hole – ensuring centralisation.
My lower bushes just fell out and I am not sure if this is normal or the reason the foks had play in them.So I am assuming the technique would work on these too.
Just got to put the new bushes back in now.
Old bushes had a red slip coating, new ones a grey coating – any ideas?
