Strut bushing

Tip!

Here's how to change bushings:

Remove the cone from the gearbox.

Press the stuffing box and the old bushings out of the cone.

Press new bushings into the cone.

Test fit the yoke in the cone before fitting the stuffing box.

The yoke should turn easily in the cone.

If it doesn't, you can try spinning the cone when it is on the yoke and at the same time lightly tap the cone with a hammer.

Then the bushings are centered in the cone.

Install a new stuffing box in the cone.

Refit the cone with a new cone gasket.
