Hi wingers, I need to replace the bushings in the rear air shocks. Is there a certain tool to do this? I have just rebuilt both shocks and the new bushings are on the way. Any ideas?
Pretty sure they press in, maybe some silicone spray would lube them and make it easier.thanks for reminding me, I bought a set and forgot about putting them in.
Not nearly as bad as I thought. I pryed them out with a flat head screwdriver. No rocket science here. I had one spare and lubed it and pressed it back in. I got all excited about nothing.
Just did them on the Valkyrie earlier this year. They are notorious for wearing out upper shock bushings. Guess that's what 700 pounds will do after a while.
I really can't complain, the shocks are 36 years old. The only thing I was worried about was not having any experience with these problems. It's always worse in my head.
