September 13, 200718 yr Hi there just noticed some up and down movement on the swinging arm on my txt 270 1999 , problem seems to be with the bottem bush of the sachs shock so i striped it all out and removed the two o rings but dont know how to remove the metal bushes ? . Can any one out there help me ? many thanks . martin
September 13, 200718 yr Hi Martin, There are two shouldered washers or sleeves that are a tight fit into the swivel bush, they sometimes have a rough almost knurled type finish where they locate into the bush that prevents them from being rotated. They do come out ok using leverage with two screwdrivers, a bit at a time, don't try to twist them out. If you can't get started with a screwdriver, you can just see a gap inbetween the two sleeves that you can get at with a drift (small screwdriver) and start to tap the sleeve out with the housing supported across vice jaws. Bye, PeterB.
