spindle bushings replacement

[hognit09]

While having shocks rebuilt noticed right side ski had play back and forth. Got new bushings and pin, but cant get the bushings out of spindle. There are 2 in each spindle and a seperation between them, any ideas?

Turned a piece of aluminum to act as a punch on the bushing OD. Then they tap right out.

Find the seam in the bushing. Then stick a small pointed chisel of screwdriver in between the bushing and the spindle, bending it into the hole. Once you have enough of it bend in, then grab it with a needle nose pliers, twist, and peel them out. To install the new ones, take the factory ones, return them to the dealer for a refund, and send a pm to UPBushman, and get his kit. Stock ones are JuNk!!
