jreed Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Hello, I am looking at getting the silver rearset powder coated, on the footpeg mounting plate there are 2 rubber dampeners I have tried to push out thinking they are separate parts but they appear to be one whole piece. Has anyone replaced or popped these out before? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Cheers. Edited January 6 by jreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Tech 07 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) According to the parts information, it looks like they are removable, possibly stuck in and likely have to replace. i suspect they will get damaged during removal. see image attached how number 26 is a separate part called “damper, footrest” with part number: 36Y-2741400 Edited January 7 by Mac Tech 07 Added part info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Tech 07 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Looks like you should be able to hammer it out from the rear side of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreed Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 (edited) I did suspect that, cheapest I've found for a set of 4 is £60 which seems extreme for such a small part. But as I'm taking parts off and looking for small replacements I'm now fully understanding the costs of such tiny parts. I have tried smacking them out using a socket round the lip which doesn't seem to work, even applied heat. I'm going to give it a go pushing them out using a vice next which hopefully will work. 1 hour ago, Mac Tech 07 said: According to the parts information, it looks like they are removable, possibly stuck in and likely have to replace. i suspect they will get damaged during removal. see image attached how number 26 is a separate part called “damper, footrest” with part number: 36Y-2741400 Edited January 7 by jreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Tech 07 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Sounds like a vice should do the trick with the right size socket tip. It is crazy how much these small parts are, guess it’s just supply and demand driving these prices, not the actual material value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M, Hausknecht Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Steel things pressed into aluminum are best removed by placing the aluminum piece in an oven at around 400F. The aluminum will expand more than the steel, reducing the strength of the press fit. Then use an hydraulic press (if you have one) with something like a proper diameter socket or a vise if you can set it up right. Sudden blows, like with a hammer, aren't ideal. Just don't burn your fingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGonzales Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 What M,Hausknecht said. Sometimes a hot air gun, used carefully and not directly aimed to the rubber, is enough and a temperature of the metal where a drop of spit starts to fizz. At least thats how I check it while working in the garage Of course, I am a little worried about the rubber if too high temperatures are used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreed Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Managed to pop them all out just using 2 sockets in a vice, they pushed out pretty easily. From what I can see it looks like no damage was caused to them either! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGonzales Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Good work and certainly useful information for someone someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreed Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 All back from powder coating, now to try and get those dampeners back in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Heat up the powder-coated pieces in an oven. Put the damper pieces in the freezer. The later should just drop in; no pounding or pressing necessary as long as your powder coating isn't too thick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreed Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Should of read that before pushing them back in. One cracked the paint slightly, not that it's much of an issue as it's hidden behind a washer and I'll touch it up. Swing arm bearings slid in with ease which I was more worried about as some paint had gotten inside where they sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
