Bushings and Sleeves - Kawasaki KFX450 Forum

brownfox · 04-01-2008, 01:24 AM

I am prep-ing my Kaw and removing my OEM A Arms to re-install Laeger's A Arms. Laeger's calls for using the OEM Bushings and Sleeves. The lower arm front bushing has two O- Ring clips but the bushing doesn't want to come out. Do they have to be pressed out by machine or can I put a hammer to them?

Once the circlips are removed they have to be pressed out.

Vice and a socket work just as good, thats how I put mine back in.

and before you put them back in try putting them in the freezer for a day. It will make them easier to get in
