snowhound 103 #1 Posted December 17, 2018 On my 417 A I need to replace the bushing in the steering support, part 109733, it's the part that the steering wheel shaft goes into. Does anyone have any tricks or warnings that would save me some aggravation or frustration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,038 #2 Posted December 17, 2018 hello snow hound, this is a regular issue that can be repaired. you have two choices, replace the existing bearing with the same type, problem is that the mounting hole is probably heavily worn. or you can replace it with a 2 bolt flange bearing, look below that would bolt onto the cross support for the old bearing . the pictures show mounting. the wheel removal is probably the worst part , in addition to penetrating oil soak on cross spring pin. get some help to hold against the wheel as you use a 1/4" punch and hammer to remove it. the more solid your impacts are , without bouncing , the greater chance the pin will ,drive out. this helps in " warnings and frustration ". hope it helps you out , Pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
