bushing.

than Teflon is visible on the bushing.
Refer to bushing replacement
in this chapter.

Roller, Pin, and Thrust Washer Inspection

1. Inspect all rollers, bushings and roller pins by pulling a flat
metal rod across the roller. Turn roller with your finger. If
you notice resistance, galling, or flat spots, replace rollers,
pins and thrust washers in sets of three. Also inspect to see
if roller and bushing are separating. Bushing must fit
tightly in roller. Use the Roller Pin Tool (PN 2870910) to
replace rollers and pins. Take care not to damage roller
bushing or bearing surface of the new pin during
installation.
2. Rubber backed buttons can be used in all ATV/RANGER
clutches if the hollow roller pin is changed to the solid roller
pin.
NOTE: The rubber side of the button is positioned
toward the solid roller pin.
