SBA Spindle Bushing Removal

[edgexcsp]

So I added a set of C&A BX skis for better floatation off trail but now I would like to narrow up the front end a hair to compensate for the wider skis.

Has anyone been able to successfully remove the pressed in bushing?

I wouldn't attempt to press that out. The SBA spindle is already set as narrow as possible. 42" stance non adjustable. Get some 11-12 rmk a-arms if you want to go narrower.

Yup, just looked again when I got home. Are the 11/12 arms a direct fit?

They will work, but you need all new bushings for where the arms mount. Upper ball joints for the rmk arms. The sba spindles will work, but you need to make a sleeve since sba upper ball joint is of larger diameter. Lower ball joints are the same. The shocks are 1/4" longer than the factory 11/12 rmk shocks. This will work for the 12-15 sba. The 2011 have a different spindles and a arms.

Thanks. Sounds like a next year project. I guess I'lol decide how much narrow I want or need it this winter.
