Just got off the phone with the guy who removed mine and he said he modified a tool that he had for KTM shocks. He was willing to let you use it if you lived around here. sorry man! Might check with a Yamaha shop.

hope it's a good one!

Hi! Welcome aboard.

welcome aboard!

Football (soccer) ya? Or are you being a smartass?

Yes! I made new studs for the exhaust and got it assembled. Now I'm trying to work through a lack of spark. I've been working on homework since 7am in an attempt to free up all day tomorrow to work on her. Holy hell! It's been a month?! https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A7JtdOXmJqJOk4;0A34BB1F-564B-4B7B-886C-9C067117CF40

Funny... I had the same issue (not knowing what tool to use to remove this bushing). Took it to a local shop and the guy assured me it was just a press fit. I told him I didn't think so as the manual states you're supposed to unscrew it. Well, long story longer... he removed the bushing after several days of soaking and heating it. I got my hub cover back with all the pieces removed and he called me later that day to tell me I needed to bring it back because he had a special tool to tighten the bushing. Funny, I thought he said it was a press fit. Anyway, I'll see if I can get ahold of him and find out what kind of tool it is and possible suppliers if you'd like. Another option might be to get a deep well socket and grind it down while leaving four projections (for lack of a better word - it's late here ) to fit in the castellations of the bushing. My attempt didn't work... hence taking it to the shop, but it was worth a try.

Hello and welcome Alex!
