cheers, i can see your point. but budget is very tight.

If it's the "P" shaped bush then I think I had to grind mine off as the inner sleeve was rusted on, then the new one was pressed on but again it was a tight fit.

thanx. yea its the p shaped bush. now i just discovered u have to take the whole arm off. to replace the bush. should be fun. lol.
do i need new nuts. as i understand they are coated with some locking agent.
appreciate the info bud. thank you

As long as there tight should be enough. don't forget to measure the distance the old bush is on the stalk and also the direction of the "P".
Good luck.
