11. Using a paint pen draw a line to mark the angle of the
bar-pin bushings as this will be needed for re-assembly
(Figure 41).
12. Securely mount the V-Rod to a fifteen (15) ton or larger
hydraulic press.
Failure to securely mount the lower control
arm assembly support fixtures could
allow the lower control arm assembly to
shift abruptly which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
13. Press out the old bushings using the hydraulic press
(Figure 42).
IMPORTANT: Press only on the outer jacket of the
bushings for removal (Figure 42).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to note the position of the two (2)
bar-pin bushings. This will be needed when
the V-Rod is re-assembled later.
14. Clean out all foreign material from the bushing receptacles
in the V-Rod.
NOTE: DO NOT use any open flame or other heat source
to remove the bushings.
15. Visually inspect all components for wear, cracks or failed
welds and replace as necessary.
Failure to replace components that are
worn, cracked or have failed welds could
cause component failure and loss of vehicle
control which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
16. Apply Loctite
603 to the outer metal jacket of the new
®
replacement bushings.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use an oil-based lubricant, soap
or brake fluid to lubricate the replacement
bushings as they can damage the rubber.
17. Using the hydraulic press the new replacement bushings
into the V-Rod.
IMPORTANT: Press ONLY on the outer jacket of the
bushings for removal (Figure 42).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to install the new bar-pin bushings in
the same orientation as the replaced bushings.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to center the bushings in the
receptacles of the V-Rod (Figure 43).
