Heavy Equipment Bushing Removal

- This is the easiest way to remove bushings out of your mini excavator, skid steer, dozer, etc. It is superior to trying to torch them out. Out of curiosity, I searched excavator bushing removal on youtube and did not see one where people were welding them out, so I decided to make a short video. Hopefully, someone learns something from this.
I've seen several people that could torch out those bushings and never touch the bore
Did the same thing to remove dry cylinder sleeves on a 318 Perkins 4-cylinder Diesel. Factory had special puller to remove, very difficult and expensive. Thanks for reminding me to also use it to remove bushings 👍
When you get to bigger machines and harder bushings, hydraulic power is needed. Nice video!
I went to a truck parts and tools store once to buy a puller to get a stuck bearing race out of a bore. It was really stuck, tried everything and almost all the edges were a puller might grab were chipped off so i decided with pain in my wallet to buy a dedicated bearing puller for this repair. And the good ones are expensive... I explained my problem and told the old man behind the counter i needed this tool. he said to me: "i can sell it to you right now for 200,- but ill know something better; you got a welder? Then go back to your shop, weld a circle around the inside and you will tap it out with ease" went back to the store a month later for some parts and sadly the old man passed away 3 weeks after my visit so i couldnt thank him anymore.
Do you know how old he was? And how did he pass away ? Your testament gave me thoughts of this guy being a great grandad
@@estephanyolmos255 the man was somewhere in his 80's, apparently he got sick and within a couple of days it was over. Thats all i know. And i think he was a great granddad indeed, when he passed away his children and grandchildren(who run the parts shop now) made a table in the shop with pictures, flowers, candles and a book were people could write their colondeances.(and there were lots of writings in the book)
A nice trick thanks for sharing
Bushings was from bronze?
Just used this meathod on my 1.5t digger. Used mig welder.
How do you remove the lower boom pin
Good idea and thanks for the tech tip.
Great idea! I agree that torching the bushing is a bad idea
Have to change them next weekend. Definitely going to give it a shot
Good stuff. I'm trying it next time. Thanks for sharing
Works flawlessly. Thanks for watching!
Torching the bushings works fine, the bore dose not get hurt if you do it right.
I cut the bushings on both sides in a couple minutes, no damage to the bore
My hero
I have been running a torch for years. I believe the torch I best for removing bushings. When the torching done it will be in two pieces with no harm down to the bore
Thank you for sharing.
I have to remove four very rusted bushings out of a wheel loader from the early eigthies. Hopfully this method will work..
Good luck!
Did it work ?
Thanks for the help worked amazing
Thanks needed to see this technique.
justin dont pay mind to these people running their mouth alot of people do only one thing and think they are god at it i have a channel and sometimes here the same crap difference is i do a lot of different things and you cant be god at everything i for one liked what you did and i have to replace some in my excavator so thankyou for showing this
I appreciate your comment. People will always find any excuse to put someone down on the internet. But, they are not the ones putting themselves and their skills out there. You earned a subscriber from me, I love the odds and ends you do on your channel. I am glad that my video helped you out, and I hope to post more content soon. Thanks.
@@losrussets8945 i have to replace bushings and pins on my 120 komatsu i think your vid will help so thanks
Right on!
Im sure arc marks all over that previously smooth surface is proven too😂 you can make video's without accusing all of youtube being clowns. If you have to do that you should be sure you dont f up everything 😂
ok, i have disassembled my entire 580b backhoe, the main top pin and bushing were about 10 more minutes from eating into the metal past the bushing, the top pin has about 20% of the metal gone, deep gouge groove.
tomorrow I attempt to get the main bushings out, they are 51.02mm ID x 63.5mm OD x 31.8mm L and 51.02mm ID x 63.5mm OD x 38.1mm L.
I was going to try the weld all inside them to shrink using my mig.
instead, i am going to try this method, and see how it goes.
i have already tapped on them, and pressed a little bit with a home made rig, they are in there.
will report back on how it goes.
I hope it works for you. Putting a couple beads wouldn't hurt anything if they don't come. I had one that basically fell out after I put 2 strings of weld.
@@losrussets8945 so far so good have taken a bunch of them out
@@tracnunya7165 Awesome. Im glad that I could help!
Nice tip ... when you install new bushings do you freeze bushing and heat bore? Curious if you have any special techniques. Thanks for posting
In my experience freeze bush but don’t heat the eye, heating can tighten the hole and more importantly it defrosts the bush too fast (u might not jack a tight one in quick enough).
Been doing that for years. Glad you Clowns finally learned something new.
Lol, thanks for watching!
I've been driving a car on compressed air for years, you clowns will catch on eventually.
Thank you so much...
Thanks for the tip it works great
Will this work on bigger diameter bushings.
Great method thanks, fyi in the field I use a die grinder to carefully cut most of the way through and drift it out.. for what it’s worth it!
Thanks. Might I ask, what do you use to cut those bushings? I know they are generally pretty hard, and I would imagine that they could tear a carbide burr up pretty quick. To be honest, I don't have much time running a burr, I am just making an assumption.
Lol this came in handy today
Glad I could help.
Will let yah know how it goes. have a 5 ton
If you're good with a torch it's not very hard to do without touching the bore. And you don't have weld splatter everywhere.
its genius
Run a bead around the inside of the bushing
What with the Americans using bunch to describe everything
Wow
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
hate when people badmouth others because you don't like their method. and metal expands when you heat it.
I wouldn't say that calling their methods inferior and calling them clowns is bad mouthing them. Maybe you should make a youtube video so I can critique every little thing that you say as well. Might as well make a comment about the grammer in your last sentence too. Maybe think about replacing the word and with also, it could potentially make you sound more intelligent. Also, sentences must start with capital letters. Surely you learned that in kindergarten.
Actually when you weld onto a bushing the weld actually makes the bushings shrink. If you were too heat it with a torch then yes it would expand. This is a proven method. We did this all the time on huge komatsu bulldozers.
Only difference is our welders would literally weld circles through out the whole bushing. Then you go take a few hours to go so something else and when you come back they come out with very little force
Your shoulder must hurt from patting yourself on the back 🤡🤣 if you talk crap on other methods probably should be on your A game yourself! Wasted angle and stainless rod! Arc strikes all over the the bushing! Weld a bead around the inside diameter and once it cools it will push right out!
I never claimed to be a good welder. Probably should have recorded the one where I didn't arc strike everywhere lol. That rod likes to stick, and I kinda suck at welding.
Can u do that on a big machine like koering 6620,will a weld work
I see a lot of clowns on you tube calling a mini excavator .....heavy equipment.....
Glad you cleared the air on that one. Wouldn't want people mistaking an excavator for heavy equipment. I love a good keyboard warrior like yourself. God forbid someone says something that doesn't perfectly align with your opinion. In fact, where do I join the church of Matt Bergeseid? Maybe then I can perform to your heavenly standards as a being higher than myself...
@@losrussets8945 gee. seems like someone who calls people clowns is sensitive to being called a clown, your method doesn't work well on bigger thicker bushings, and if you get good with a torch splitting bushings is acceptable...big stuff can't always be transported to your little shed buttercup...
@@mattbergseid9196 Ok boss.
I sure hope you don't change these for a living. You have no idea what you are doing.
