Replacing Bushings; Installation Of Swing Axle - Husqvarna Rider 18 ProFlex Workshop Manual

Replacing bushings

Once the swing axle has been removed the
bushings fitted to the rear frame must be replaced.
They can be removed with a standard drift.
Fit the new bushings with the aid of the standard
drift, making sure that the channels in the bushings
run horizontally. It is important that the outer edge
of the outermost bushing is flush with the outer
edge of the hole.
Lubricate the bushings with a lithium-based grease.
