I broke a oilite bushing during install. Can bushings be bought individually?

Ulmer Racing will sell individual bushings. I think they are around $6 plus shipping.

Same with me, that's why I will only use the nylatron, great fit and nice to work with. Pioneer motorsports still had some left.

I broke an oilite and Ulmer did send me the one I needed. I actually got two in case I broke another one. LOL Ulmer was very good to deal with. I would get them again.

Well glad you got yours replaced, I called direct and never got offered replacement.
Bottom line is if they break,crack, or split that easy That's why I went to nylatrons!

Well I did have to pay for them, they weren't free, but it was only a few dollars.

Well how about guys who buy oilites from other sources like partzilla, they won't break up a set?
And my point is when I buy a bushing set I think it's reasonable to expect to be able to take Frt end apart-clean-reassemble, without breaking a brittle bushing & then having to leave sled in pieces waiting a week for replacement bushings to get it back together, and don't really care to pay for replacement bushings that weren't even used.
So I guess it's great for a guy (seller) to be polite, but bottom line is I want a better product and that is NYLATRON for me in this case.

Not sure why some of you are having trouble with the oilites. I did three sleds last season and never cracked or chipped one bushing.
One set was from Ulmers and the other two where from Yamaha. The fit was perfect each time.
