A Arm question

[doltz]

I am taking my stock a arms in to get chromed on Fri.

 

Do I need to pull out the brass sleeve bushings in the end or can I leave them & plug them?

 

If I need to pull them how do they come out?

 

Thanks

The only problem I see with leaving them in is the small amount of grease that might contaminate the chrome process. You can pop them out by using a long 1/2" wood dowel. Just slide it in the opposite side at a slight angle and knock 'em out. With the brass ones, you will need to do some pretty heavy hitting but they should come out OK.

No, not stock. They are an aftermarket "upgrade" . Not everyone is smart enough to use bearings. But I'm working on that

No, not stock. Just better replacements than the cheap plastic. You can get them in needle bearings also. I would definately remove them, one side will be hard to get out, but once one side is done, just like Holyman said, tap them out with a wooden dowel pin. You might be able to use a 1/4" pin to go inside of the bushing, so you won't have to beat on it.
