Ducati/Triumph

Went to try and start the Ducati this morning but the battery was dead. Some prat had left the ignition switch on Park!

So I put the battery on charge and then worked on the Triumph swinging arm, came to the conclusion I really need a press to remove the bushes and install the news ones, but I don't yet have one (it's on the list), so it was down to fabricating a tool to force the bushes out with a sledge hammer.

It was hard work, but eventually got them all out without any damage. I made another tool to pull the new ones into position, having thought that banging the new ones wasn't the best way to succeed. Have put the bushes in the freezer tonight and will try my tool tomorrow!
