Title: Bushings!!
Post by: Vader on January 26, 2016, 11:56:19 AM

I've seen this question in a couple of other threads, but it always seems to morph to a different subject before there's any juicy info.

Is there any source for the ski spindle bushings and ski pivot bushings? Or do I get out the sketchpad then visit the local machine shop? Are the ski pivot ones just made of steel? Mine are seized in place and I will probably have to drill them out.

I see 1 NOS spindle bushing on eBay right now, but it would be almost $40 total for me.

Must be a plastic bushing in there.  Been a while since I had to take off a ski.

The ones for the ski bolts are steel and can be a real bear if they rust in.  I made a puller for them and still had to drill a couple out.
