does anyone have any tips for removing and refitting small end bushes. Will they tap out with a punch? or do you need a hydraulic press? havent done this before so any advice would be appreciated.

 

Cheers.

Burn them out.

generally you need to press them out and shrink fit the new ones in.

not sure about your particular rods but usually the new bushes need machining to get the correct clearance on the gudgeon pin.
