I’m thinking a bottle jack wouldn’t work since it can’t function properly sideways, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a hockey puck handling the load, those bushings were definitely on there. But anything becomes an option in a moment of desperation, lol.
What I did was probably a bad idea, but it worked for me. I also could not get the pins out to save my life, so I started using the machine without the bolts. Eventually the vibration loosened the tapered part of the pins and they just fell out.
Did you ever make a video on how to remove the tapered pins from the quick attach plate that connects to the bucket or have some idea on how to get those tapered pins out?
@@Mprobo its the same pins that you had to remove when you remove that bushing from the quick attach plate or am I looking at some thing different all together. Thanks
Looked like the outside of the arm was peened with a hammer in at least one bad spot. That'll make it much worse. A little grinder or dremel tool work first may have helped a lot. At least it did come out though!
hmm i am about to do a lot of bushings on my 580b backhoe. will keep this method in mind.
great job.
Could one use a bottle jack, steel pipe or rod and a hockey puck to get those out?
Oh wow that's awesome 😎
Don't put heat on the bush. Put it on the outside
If he did that the bushings wouldn't shrink when cooled off quickly. Two totally different approaches and clearly his works too

Just weld a bead around the inside of the bushing.this will shrink the bushing as it cools. Quickly push it out before it cools completely.
That’s a great idea, I’ll try that next time!
Spot on, give it a minute to cool then they tap out
I have a video of me doing it on my youtube channel actually. Works very good!
Why push it out quickly? Would it not be better to let it cool completely. It would contract more then.
What's the rating of the hydraulic pusher? Is a 4 ton enough?
I like how you are pressing out the bushings, but how did you get the pins out? I can't get mine to drive out.
I don’t recall exactly, I think my pins were so worn they came out without issue.

I don’t recall ever replacing those pins, and I definitely don’t have a video of it. Sorry, wish I could help.

@@andrewh5988 I think you are correct, I may have pounded them out with a mini sledge. It’s been so long I can’t remember.

Probably could get two sacrificial nut sockets on one end and a steel plate on the other
What kind of press is that?
It’s a hydraulic frame straightening press from harbor freight,
