shifter shaft bushings
#21
I didn't counter-sink them actually. I got it flash against the shifter housing with my washers. Both the housing and the bushings seemed to be machined to allow for the o-rings. I used these bushings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shift-Lever...72.m2749.l2649
Here is the bushing replacement tool:

From the pictures it doesn't look like the installers have a lip for sinking the bushings.
I guess if you wanted to, you could put a socket on the bolt instead of one of the washers and sink the bushings one at a time. I wouldn't tap it in with a socket.
Thanks for pointing this out!

I changed the bushings on my 93 Heritage a couple of days ago. I didn't have any of the specialty tools so I drove out the old bushings with a socket then got the new bushings started and slowly pressed them both in at the same time with my vise. Out again, in again Finnegan. Piece of cake.

Nah, not really. I never had a lathe and although this '93 is my first Evo everything else for the last almost 50 years has been Shovels and Pans. Then again you can't be that deep in it without having made the acquaintance of 5 or 6 people who do own one!
