4 months ago while I was doing the paint I took my left and right foot assemblies to a company called "Sik", south of San Francisco, to have them black chromed. I dissembled them to the best of my ability. When I got there they looked at the things still on the right front brake and told me they would finish disassembly and save the parts. that was a huge mistake on my part. They told me they would be finished in 2-3 weeks..Two months later I had to push them for the finished product. When i got there I could see that there were big time quality control issues with the work. I showed them that they had not taken the bushings out and had literally cooked the rubber into the grommet hole. They said it was my problem because I should have taken them out before submitting. I told them of previous conversation..."not our problem"...It cost me almost 90 dollars to replace these 6 bushings from Suzuki. Now it is four months later and I am just getting bike back together again.
There are three bushing per side. The bushings are metal sleeved outter rim and inner rim...and there is a rubber compound between the two sleeves. When they cooked the bushings in the grommet holes the outter metal sleeve has frozen onto the body part. I am asking for recommendations for how to remove these...see pics...thanks for help
