Quick question guys-
This is the drive shaft coupler attached to the pump on my 1250. The bushing is a self-aligning ball bushing and I have no idea how to service the darn thing. I am working on two couplers, both the same; one is loose and this one here is frozen. It looks like it has some sort of keeper ring but the manual doesn't go into depth that I can find so here I am. How does one get the bushhing out?
Many thanks to any and all....Wayne

I had hope someone would tell you all about the bushing . Its rounded and sets in the sleeve, It gets worn sloppy or stuck. remove buy driving them out ($8.00 each and common) . You could use a vise and a socket to press the new bush in place. so I have seen. There 2 finger typing suc$ks.

There is a closed end on that part, good luck driving it out.

I clamped mine in a vice and popped the brass piece out. Then using a hammer and small chisel colapsed the steel ring until I could work it out. Then drive the new one in using forementioned socket.

Wayne: (You've probably done this by now). Some oil and a little pressure)on your stuck bushing will let it move as freely as the one you call loose. Trust me, you can make them both work the same way.
Edit is good: The bushing is brass, it's surroundings are rustable. You're fighting the rust that's (oops, PG10) up the movement of the bushing.

Thanks to all so far. I'm still confused about the retaining ring. Is this bushing meant to be driven out? How does this ring retain the bushing and stay in place? I can't see how to drive the bushing out when the shaft behind the bushing (in the coupler) is 5/8" as well. There's no "lip" to catch in order to drive the bushing out. Is there a write up on this procedure anywhere?
Thanks again for all...Wayne

Wayne I believe that is a "non tech term" a spring ring it is beveled so that when the ring compress it slides up the bevel. I once was told this many years ago and that you need to use a press to slowly and powerfull push it. what does the other side of that picture look like? I have never seen one.
Thanks Jeff-
That's what so confusing about the whole set-up. It looks to be pressed in or the ring comes out to access the bearing. The back side is the part that goes on the pump shaft and is attached with a 1/4" coiled roll pin. This is also the part that requires the 5/8" ball bearing behind the bearing to help position the drive shaft. I'm just confused on how to get the bearing out. There's no way to get to the back of the bearing to drive it out.
The second is just a side view.
