Switch between tightening the screws and hammering the bushing until the torque on the screws is the same before and after hammering. On bushings 3535 and larger, drive the bushing into the hub using a rubber mallet and block.THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE FOR TAPER-LOCK BUSHINGS ONLY: Please note: A GAP SHOULD REMAIN AT ALL TIMES BETWEEN COMPONENT HUB AND (QD/SPLIT-TAPER) BUSHING FLANGE This progressive tightening allows the bushing to seat correctly and squarely. Alternate tightening your bolts gradually until specific torque values are reached.Tighten the set-screw over the key to keep it in place once final drive alignments are complete. Install the key onto the shaft and mount assembly as desired.Insert the bolts through the bushing’s non-threaded hole then thread into your counterpart by hand, leaving the assembly loose.*QD bushings can be mounted two ways, standard or reverse mount.* The threaded holes on the bushing will be utilized during removal. Insert the bushing into the component hub and align the bushing’s non-threaded holes to its counterpart’s threaded ones.Installation of your bushingįollow these steps for proper installation: Remove all dust, dirt, paint, oil, and grease.
As mentioned above, bushings work through friction and force, so foreign matter on any of these surfaces will inhibit the ability to work correctly. It’s essential to clean all involved parts thoroughly: the shaft, the bushing bore, and OD, as well as the component bore (that of your sprocket or sheave). You can do this by consulting the table below: Use of anti-seize leads to bushings seating deeper within the mating part, leading to breakage of the mating part.īegin by confirming that your shafting is within tolerance. Time to prepare your bushing Please note: NEVER USE ANTI-SEIZE DURING INSTALLATION Let’s outline the steps you’ll need to take to install split-taper, QD, and taper-lock bushings properly, and then discuss a straightforward removal process you can execute quickly. At this point, increased downtime and – if the mating shaft is harmed – potentially bigger and costlier issues arise. Incorrect installation can cause excessive vibrations, increased run-out, or breakage of the mating part, inevitably damaging components and the shaft it engages. Whether through regular maintenance or the replacement of its companion item, proper installation of a bushing can affect all other components within the drive. Some specialty bushings even accommodate splined or keyless shafts. They also allow us to make modifications quickly and efficiently. The simple system to install and remove a bushing allows us to quickly change sprockets, sheaves, and pulleys – among other things – from one shaft size to another. Other track spec upgrades can be added at that time, including the Sneed aero kit and track interior safety package.Bushings are an indispensable component of power transmission, allowing for a flexible drive system. 50% more power than the MINI JCW package!īuild time is about 1 week.
