Just wanted to comment that the 22 and up factory bushing is an improvement for sure. Recently opened up a 2022 with 4500 miles and it was almost like new still. Not tuned.

It is definitely a different type of bushing than the older ones. I am not sure what the material on the I.D. is, but it appears to be better than the soft, black PTFE lining of the older ones. I noticed this when I swapped out the bushing on my brother-in-law's new 2023 LTX SE before this past season.Just wanted to comment that the 22 and up factory bushing is an improvement for sure.

I'm going to take the bronze bushing out of the 24T and install it on the 21T. Has anyone tried squeezing out the bushing and installing it on another gear using a press?
Are there any difficulties in this?

No problem as long as you have the right diameter push pin.
