Topic: 1975 CB550k Carb Base shaft bushing

[Shutt24]

I removed the shaft to clean and the bronze bushing is broken. I measured it at .375 id x .500 od x .525 length. If anyone has a resource for the bronze bushing I would greatly appreciate it.

You will have to have one specialy made, you did not fully remove the locking pin

What is the best way to remove the locking pin?

Normally I just tap/drive them thru to the opposite side with a punch and small hammer (small, so the shaft doesn't get bent!).

While I don't have brass that size on hand, I do have a small lathe to make one with if it comes to that.

I will give that a try. Don’t know why I didn’t see that.
I bought these on amazon, I hope they work.

You need bronze, not steel bushings so they don't rust and freeze to the shaft.
