TeamRealtreeHD Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Removed a few of them already, but they seem to be stuck tight. Any advice? Quote
LiftdT4R Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Brass or Plastic? The plastic ones suck, your probably gonna ruin them. For the brass ones I use a long brass punch and kinda get them on an angle on the edge of the bushing. If you beat around the edge they should slide out. Sometimes they come out easy, sometimes, I ruin them. EDIT: by the way, the bikes looking super sick bro, I still gotta try and make it up there to go ridin with yall. I dont do much hillclimbing, but I heard theres some pretty sick trails up there. Quote
TeamRealtreeHD Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 Plastic ones... They are shot anyways and the ones I removed I am just destroying them. But it is taking too long. Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I use a a flattened punch and hit them from the opposite side, but you can use any long-skinny object that wont chinger up the bushing. I'm not relating that in any other way but with tools :biggrin: Quote

Yeah, fuck it then, your best bet is to trey to break them with a hammer and a long common screw driver and pull them out. Quote
jbooker82 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 If you wanted to paint your a arms just take a torch and heat the a arm up. It should melt the bushing enough that it would slide right out. Quote
evro Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 X2 with meltice, on the lowers use a punch that doesn't have any sharp edges, come through the inside and tap it out from the other side, just make sure not burr or scar the inside of the arm mount. uppers are just a bitch, plain and simple.

Gees, wth method were you using? Always resort to the "hit it harder with something bigger" tactic before anything else. Quote
