Bushing Inspection and Removal
1. See Figure 3-103. Bushings are press fit in crankcase
and gearcase cover. Inspect each bushing against its
corresponding cam gear shaft or pinion gear shaft. See
Table 3-30.
2. See Figure 3-107. To remove bushings from crankcase
and gearcase cover, use BUSHING AND BEARING
PULLER (Part No. HD-95760-69A).
Bushing Installation
NOTE
Installing and reaming crankcase and gearcase cover bush-
ings may alter the center distances between mating gears
and may result in an increase in gear noise. For quiet-running
gears, the gears should be matched to the center distances.

1. See Figure 3-108. Each cam gear bushing, to be
installed in right crankcase half, must be positioned in

ream the bushing to correct size. See Bushing Reaming.
