Are those steel sleeves removable? You could always replace them with bearings

The top one actually came out was just gonna rrolace the whole thing

Yeah you could do that but eventually you will have the same issue. Why not take it to a bearing shop and see how much it costs to replace the bushings with bearings? It'll take a lot of slop out of the system and make it far smoother

here is the linkage kit for the LXR, $115

are you sure they are solid steel bushes, they look like they are a standard bearing setup?
slip a flat bladed screwdriver in between the outer washer and linkage and try to pry that half out.

how did you go with your linkage ?

not very well..

the crappy rev mx linkage has bushes not bearings.

i have fixed it up but the rear is a lil stiff.

im going to do a bit of research and see if the lxr linkage fits in the rev mx, seems ok at the moment nd i have re done my front forks so the bike seems good at the moment, i just want the rear to be a little softer thats all

hit ed at ciniworx up he has all the bit ii reckon

yeha i wanted to replace them wih bearings instead. but if you look at the bushes, they stick put of the brakets so the bearings will have to be very think, is that correct????

yeah these bearings come with inner rings
so you just cut the old coke can bushes up to use as spacers and rebuild it
works a treat i did ando's bike when he first got it and pulled it a part a couple of weeks ago and there all sweet still
