Assembly (1)

Starting with the shifter lever

Fitting the new bushings to the alloy shifter assembly

I used a washer on either side to make sure the new parts weren't damaged and just started the pressing in process with a set of pliers



I did this on both sides

Then I found some open ended spanners to use as a temporary block in the opening between the two bushings



The spanners were quite tight in there for the next stage

Pressing in with my hydraulic press (total over kill - a decent vice would do just as well)



Note I'm pressing into wood as well (top and bottom)



There we go Bob's my uncle.
