Best of luck!
 

Hi Jonesey

My advice would be to soak them as above, heat them as above and then make and use a puller as above. That should do it! The hacksaw method is not for the faint hearted, believe me!

I put new pins in, working on the principle that the old ones were probably worn
and might shorten the life of the new bushes.

The cush drive rubbers were quite expensive and some one on here may know of an alternative. They are probably the same as suspension bushes off a fiat 500 or something.

Whereabouts are you?

i'm a long way from home...........in denmark. Moved out here a few years back. But come over to the UK pretty regularly by plane, and min. once a year on the bike to get an MOT. When you mentioning heating the wheel up - a hot air paint stripper on low heat ? Don't want to strip the white paint off....
