Had to do the hacksaw trick to remove the pivot bolt from the sleeve on the swinging arm. Anyone know the best way to get the old bushes out? Soak them in some noxious liquid, gasket remover, acetone etc? 1976 TY175.
Thanks, Jon.

Had to do the same thing.

Try long drift from the other side.

or use a Dremil with a burr bit and cut a slot in the nylon bush, should then just push out.
