B7100 D front axle bushings

[Steve NC]

The center pivot bushings on my B7100D front axle are pretty worn. Has anyone changed these before and have any advice on how to remove and install the new bushings? I figured this was a good time to go ahead and change these since the engine is out of the tractor for rebuilding.

Yes perfect timing, pull the pin and drive the bushings from the opposite side out.
Replace all 4 O-rings (#'s 7, 22) , 2 bushings (#6) and the pin (#21) at the same time.

Thanks Wolfman, I didn't know if I would need anything special like a press or not. The pin is out of spec and the bushings are on the edge of the wear limit. Is there supposed to be a way to grease them?

The parts have been ordered and should be here by the end of next week.

No grease they are lubed by the oil in the case, that's the reason for the O-Rings.

That makes sense, thanks
