Was on Covid lockdown so took this on yesterday. I did it once about 34kmi ago, but did not get one bolt all the way out, so I went all in loosening the exhaust to reverse the linkage bolts. I did not replace seals, just cleaned and lubed and reassembled. Bearings and bushing all looked good. Some bolt corrosion, especially the one I didn't get out last time, but it cleaned up pretty well. One seal need resetting. Some minor wear where one of the dog bones rubbed on the link. Not sure why, but there is nothing keeping the bushing from moving to one side or the other. The shaft had the typical rust from moisture in the arm, but again, it cleaned up nicely.
Will be easier next time, not having to get to and move the exhaust. My Jaxon plate and Mastech bar combination is a real pain to line up. The bars block straight in alignment of half the bolts. Good lesson in patience...
