Replacing pins and bushings on our bobcat 873. I used my Harbor Freight 20 ton press on it's side to press out the main pivot bushings.

thanks for sharing that was thinking way outside the box on tilting the press on it's side. I would have tried all thread first with nuts on both ends, and it probably would not have worked. i will keep your idea in mind should I have to try something like you just did. Thanks again.

I tried all thread with the first curl cylinder bushing but all I had was 1/2" course and it stripped out. Thanks for the comment!

we do these all the time in the shop .Our way of doing it is to heat up rod eye with a map gas torch and before you press in new bushing place it in the freezer for about an hr ..They go in super easy

Yeah, I'll be trying your way next time. I knew about putting the bushing in the freezer but I forgot to do it before hand and didn't want to wait. Thanks for watching!

@@tomhendricks316 if u can look around for a used king pin press it makes removing those bushings a breeze and u can leave the cylinder on the machine

dry ice and you can push it in with your fingers

Us shade tree mechanics don't have dry ice laying around. I'm going to keep an eye out for something to cool them down. Even if it's just the computer cleaner aerosol. Thanks for watching!

How about putting the bushings in the freezer for an hour. They will shrink when cold. You have to be quick once you remove them to press them.

Do you know the part number for the bushings in the end of the cylinder?
@Memphisdoug2 жыл бұрын
Skip this question. The bushing package you showed is the correct number for the cylinder bushings

What about a ball joint press? If it is not going I have seen people give the joint a whack with a ball peen hammer to shock it. Hard to argue against the press if that is what you have nice work.

your idea of turning the larger pins down to the smaller diameter wouldn't work . These pins are induction hardened only about .030 in depth , after you turned it off it's just a high carbon pin with no hardening , Most people that have access to a lathe use on size drill rod and cut it to length and drill grease holes in it

Great point. I'm glad I didn't turn them down. I'm still learning! I have a video on replacing the jack shaft on a vermeer 252 stump grinder. When I cut it to length, I noticed the outer was harder than the middle. Thanks for watching! And the comment
