Removing Rearset Bushings?

[Fredyp33]

Gonna have the rear sets powder coated. Need advice on best way to remove these bushings?

[GAmedic]

Those are probably pressed in.

If not pressed in, push the center metal out and you should be able to work the rubber bushing out.

Just paint them black *

No need to remove them. Powder coater can do it with them in place. That’s how mine were done.

Same here mine are coated with bushing installed

[Mr Brown]

Mine too.

[jeffgordons24]

Yes the bushings are metal, you already removed the rubber gaskets. When I powdercoat I don’t usually exceed 400 degrees so at that temp the bushings are not harmed.

[GAmedic]

Mine came black but they're aftermarket.

[Fredyp33]

Outstanding. That helps tremendously if I don’t have to remove them. Now what about the shifter. Does the bushing or rod pivot connector need to be removed? I don’t see anyway for the pivot connector to be disconnected.

[c10]

no just have you guy not blast sand into heim joint . , and no coat on bronze bushing

[Fredyp33]

One last question, can I powder coat on top of the gray coating or do I need to lightly sand it? My swingarm maker is doing this for free so I want to prep as much as possible for him.

Are you looking to PC the brake / shifter levers black too? If so find out how much the shop is charing. It may be cheaper to purchase aftermarkets which run about $25 ea

[Dennis]

Scotchbrite and GoJo with grit, then clean them well. OEM levers are better than cheap aftermarket.

[Fredyp33]

Yea planning on doing the foot levers too. Swingarm maker is gonna powder coat these at the same time. I prefer OEM as long as they turn out good.

I’m gonna get up with swingarm maker to see how disassembled he wants them.
