    Hi to all AGAIN! ok todays issue is that I am trying to take my rear shocks off to give them a good clean up on the bench but the bottom bushes are seized onto the swinging arm boss. Before i wreck the rubber bushes in order to get some purchase on the inner steel sleeve does anybody know if replacement bushes are available?

    Thanks in advance for any info!

    Readily available (eBay) but careful, repeated application of phosphoric acid (Jenolite etc.,) and tapping with a hammer should free off the rust and save the ones you have.
