5. Slide rear lift arm from lift arm pivot shaft.
6. Inspect flange bushings in lift arm for wear or dam-
age. If necessary, replace bushings:
A. Use bushing removal tool to extract both flange
bushings from the lift arm. Take care to not damage
the lift arm bore.
B. Clean the insideof the boreto remove anydirtor
foreign material.
C. Applygreasetotheinsideandoutside ofthenew
flange bushings.
D. Use an arborpress to install the bushingsinto lift
arm. Bushings should be pressed until bushing
flange is against lift arm bore.
E. After bushing installation, make sure that lift arm
slides easily onto pivot shaft. If binding is noted, lo-
cate and correct source of binding.
7. If necessary, remove cap screw that secures pivot
shaft (item 11) in lift arm. Remove pivot shaft from lift
