I'm rebuilding the steering on my old 806. I have new spindles, and I've ordered new thrust bearings and bushings.
Now I need to get the old worn bushings out. I do have a lot of tools including a shop press and a metal lathe in case I need to fabricate something.
Would it be a bad idea to take a chisel and basically cut out the old bushings? Or maybe careful application of a sawzall to slice through the bushing so it can be peeled out? I don't see a good way to press this out. They are worn quite thin at this point from years of neglect.
