Replacing Bushings; Fitting The Pendulum Shaft - Husqvarna Rider PR 17 Workshop Manual

5. Clean, see "Working Methods" on
page 106. Release the rear hydraulic
hose from the rear axle.
6. Remove the circlip and washer from the
pendulum shaft and pull loose the rear
frame.
7. Remove the circlip and washer from the
pendulum shaft's inner mount (1) and
pull the shaft out to the rear. Use a
sledgehammer or puller if needed.
If the dust cover (2) is damaged, it
should be replaced with a new one.

Replacing Bushings

Once the pendulum shaft is removed, replace
the bushings in the rear frame.
Remove these with a punch, see"Special
Tools" on page 5.
New bushings are fitted with the punch
see"Special Tools" on page 5. Make sure that
the bushing grooves are lined up horizontally.
It is important that the outer bushing's outer
edge is on the same level as the outer edge
of the hole. The bushings should first be
lubricated with a lithium-based lubricant.

Fitting the Pendulum Shaft

1. Lubricate half the shaft (the half that has
not been machined) and press it into the
steering spindle from the rear (see
illustration).
2. Fit the washer and circlip on the
pendulum shaft by the inner mount.
3. Fit the dust cover (with thin lip towards
the rear) approx. 2/3 of the way in on the
shaft and lubricate the shaft on both
sides of the dust cover.
4. Roll the rear frame forward and press it
onto the pendulum shaft.
