New - with LX665

[KM2026]

Hello. Brand new to the forum.

I have a 1999 LX665. The quick change plate needs to have pins and bushings replaced as the flops around quite a bit.

1st issue: How to remove the lower pivot tins from the boom arms? I know they are tapered. Are they pounded out from the outside inward? Need heat? How hard are they in there? I don’t think they have ever been removed.

2nd issue: The top pins appear to have ob-rounded the holes in the actuator ends. But it looks like there is a thin walled bushing? Is that replaceable?

3rd: are there bushings in the change plate that the pins above go into, and are they replaceable?



Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

First of welcome to the site1


next
you need to start a thread in the NH forum section to ask your questions

as many members do look in introductions and as such, you won't get many answers/opinions or help to your questions/issues!
it will net you the best chance for help doing so!

and,
its also keeps from polluting the introduction section from what its for! introductions!
