Has anyone has problems with bi-metal corrosion between the stainless and aluminum? I imagine this setup can only be better compared to stock but the metal combination worries me a bit.

I forgot I had this kit. Thanks for posting your step by step. I was scratching my head for a while.

Price on this kit? Got over 3000 miles on the oem and I'm due to replace them.

Bringing up an old post I know. I am working on installing upman nytro ski bushings. The right ski went great left no so great I buggered up the end when I was driving the bushing in and now I have to drive the piece the bolt goes threw and it doesn't spin freely when I get it in. Is that okay? I also noticed with the right side the one that spin freely with the bolt on and tight the actual outside ski part where the bolt goes threw moves with the ski up/down. Is that normal? I'm running Yamaha tuner skis.

I have over 4,000 miles on Up Bushmans spindle kit on my Phazer and they are still tight. I have another set to go in the Nytro I picked up at the end of the season. This is a great fix for worn stock spindle bushings. G.B.

I order a set of premium bushings from UP bushman. The upgrade kit is all stainless steel with a full length single bushing that fits snugly in the spindle and should last much longer than other options. Here are some pictures of removing the OEM bushings and installing the kit.
Clean end of bi-metal bushing and locate slit:

Use a tapered punch to roll the bushing starting at the slit:

With the bushing rolled over use a socket or bushing driver to drive both bushing out at the same time:

Premium bushing kit:

Clean the spindle then drive/press the new stainless bushing in:

Grease bushing and anti-seize the spacers:

Send a PM to UP bushman. I've believe he still sells the bushing kit.
Hooray!

Reviving this one! My '16 venture MP has a lot of play (especially the right ski). I'm putting on C&A Pro MTX skis, and want to replace the bushings as well. Are the stainless ones still available? Mine seem different then the ones in the original post (mine are two separate bushings). I haven't found them anywhere else online.

Might want to get a hold of Travis of Barn of Parts as he was working on a kit to carry on what the UP Bushman kit offered.
