- Here’s how to remove bushings without special tools. I had to get a little creative without a press. It can be done though! Working on a Honda CB350 Super Sport Motorcycle from 1968. It's the next project on the channel. Grab a free sticker at www.keeponwrenching.com

A hydraulic press is probably one of the most useful tools I have purchased, really worth the initial cost.
I have done these bushes in a vice with a piece of tube and steel bar but a press is way easier.
My advise to anyone would be to get the biggest one you can afford. Mine is only 6 ton, I have used it to press crank pins but that's right on the limit.
Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll be hunting down another tool. Not something you use everyday, but damn it is nice when you need it.
You need some inspiration my friend. Your next project should be a complete rebuild of a 1975 Honda CB 360t....but fast forward to where you're updating everything and the harness and are hooking it all up.....How's that for specific inspiration?
That’s very specific
Use the torch to burn the rubber out of the bushing then use a sawzall to cut a slot in the remaining metal bushing,then use the punch/chisel to knock the rest of the sleeve out
That would really stink up the house. I work in the basement. But yes, that’d work too.
@@KeepOnWrenching yeeaaaah it smells but it works one of the best possible ways for ones that won't come out with any other solution. It's one of those things where if you can, bring it outside. Chances are you don't park the truck, car, etc in the house to begin with haha
I powder coated my 70 cb350 including gas tank also
Looking forward to this series
I have Mikuni carbs on my cb350 and we are having issues with dealing with tuning. Will not go below 1500rpm. Bought tuning manual from dealer and will be at it shortly. Season ending shortly. Hope have it on the road before snow falls
Make it so, David. I've heard people struggle to get those Mikunis dialed in. It can be done though!
Did you have to do any repairs to the frame?
Tap it out little by little using the edge of a flat end punch working your way around the bushing and using a large socket on the far side. That at times for me in the past.
That one wasn't moving. I worked at it for quite some time...had to go the more destructive route. :)
What a tough job Brian. Interesting on the process. What tool could be used? Thanks for posting
A press would be fantastic.
You can also use a cold chisel to cut the outer portion of the bushing
That would work too. Thanks!
@@KeepOnWrenching I've had to use that method on oil seal wear sleeves on helicopters. I was pretty nervous about taking a taking a chisel and hammer to a multi-million dollar gearbox, but that's what the manual called for, so I did it. It worked better than I thought. The new sleeve goes on with heat, and you only get one shot to seat it fully before it tightens up on the shaft.
Hey! Nice job. Do you have any videos where you installed a new bushing? Thanks!
Not yet. I’ve never done it. Ordered the parts!
Can’t wait!
If you've got this thing powder coated by now, how did you go about the VIN tag? Did you remove it before the process to reinstall afterwards or was it safe being baked?
The 68 350 didn’t have a tag…just a stamped # so I don’t need to worry about it. I’m sure the powdercoaters have ways to protect that badge. Ask them. I really don’t know.
crap. I was going to tell you how to use two sockets and push it out with a vice.
I'll have to try the vice next time...maybe with a long bar I could have got it out in one piece.
How you going to put new ones in! As you say get yourself a press worth there weight in gold when needed
agree.
Wow i feel sorry for you, i hope you find someone with experience to help you in the future, cause this was hard to watch...
Don't feel sorry for me, I'm having fun. I made a makeshift press to reinstall new bushings that worked really well. I could have used that on the removal instead…upon reviewing the video I feel like it was a logical approach for what it was. No harm was done. I asked for recommendations several times. I’d be happy to hear them if you had any. Thanks for watching!
