I've serviced my lev a few times and it's a fairly easy job. This time round I've decided to replace the DU bushing, guide bushings and the roller bearing. I cannot see how to get the old roller bearing out. Has anyone done this?
Is there anything in this link that helps?

Thanks. Yep, I did see that thread. Seems to cover the normal service and a damper rebuild. Sadly, not quite the info I need.
I was told by Jungle that bushes were a return to base job as they have to size them.
Why do you need to replace that? I'm not sure what it even does! 😳
I've had mine apart for service, but really nothing more.
Edit - DU bushing is a regular repair part. I scratched one of mine when servicing, and had to order and wait for a replacement.
The roller bearing helps stop rotation of the post (I think). I started getting much more play do thought replacing all the replaceable parts made sense. Only costs a few pounds. The bearing certainly needs replacing now I've started extracting it. 😳
Sam,
Where did you get new roller bearing from? do you have a link?
more important did it reduce the rotational play?
Give grant a call at [url= http://www.southcoastsuspension.co.uk ]south coast suspension[/url] for lev parts. The bearing is only a few quid.
I haven't rebuilt yet as the stanchion is looking a bit battered from contact with the bearing. So it might need a new stanchion 🙁 I'll be calling grant tomorrow after this realisation.
Cheers sam, I may needs some copper bush rods as well
