Clutch Rollers & Bushings

[blew by you]

My 500 Twin goes through primary clutch rollers like crazy.I found out that I can buy just the bushings for these rollers,they are half the price.Has any one just change the bushings?Is it difficult?Do you need a special tool?

easy to do

I just used a vise.Put a socket the same size as the bushing on one side.On the other side put a socket that is larger then the bushing.Put all 3 pcs in line in between the vise jaws(takes a little patience) and crank the vise.It will push the bushing out into the larger socket.After u do a few it is easy.

Is it easy to put the new bushings in?

same process really.Line up the bushing with the roller,in the vise and tight en up and bushing will slide right into place.

Do yourself a favour and buy a good used clutch from a tripple and put your hardware in it. Once the twin clutches get to the point that they start needing bushings, they will constantly eat them.
