CL77 Bushings that are built into frame/mate with swing arm

Post by CandyBlue » Wed May 06, 2015 12:40 pm

Does anyone have experience with the bushings that are installed into the frame that look similar to the swing arm bushings themselves? They are meant to mate with swing arm. I was able to make one spin with some heat and a pipe wrench but not sure if they are indeed removable. They are damaged on the outside and would like to replace but not sure if they are meant to be permanent.... Any info much appreciated.

I don't think that they are designed to be removable but anything is possible. If you need to replace them you will have to make your own parts as they are not listed as spares.

The CL72/77 are removable.
I punch them out from the inside with a brass rod then dress any out of round area. ................lm

Many thanks Gman and LM... I used some heat, P-oil and a punch rod and yes, all is possible with such weapons and patience! I was able to salvage a good one from a pretty wrecked frame to put into the frame I'm using for a restoration. All the best gents! Scott
