Tailshaft Centering bush

[DavesSV6Tonner]

Looks like you have the centering bush in the gearbox yoke but it is flogged out?
Just need to work out if you need the 14mm ID or the 16mm ID bush and order one from Hardy Spicer.

Does anyone know how how to remove an replace the centring bush

I imagine it will be a press fit job.

I think last time I had to do one of them was on a VL and I removed the extension housing then used probably a long rod to tap it out the end.
Too long ago to be certain but I doubt you can do it in place with the output shaft in the way.

The hydraulic action only works for the likes of the bush in a flywheel or similar where you pack it with grease then smack a gearbox input shaft into it and it pushes the bush out.
It will not not work in the rear of the box because you have nothing to hold the grease/oil in place and the output shaft makes it impossible..

Ok I’m pretty sure it’s a centring bush that I need I’m pretty sure the centring bush goes onto the end tail shaft here are some pics
1 is what’s left of the rubber coupling
2 Is the rubber coupling end of tail shaft where the centring bush sits
3 This is the end of the gearbox does anyone know what the name of that bush is called

This is the part here I blew my coupling and just got a new one and I been looking everywhere to find a replacement for the thing u described my other one is bent and just badly gone so I just baught this part apparently according to the reciept it's called a cetering bush
