Thinking about tearing into my B today to change my shifter bushing. Anyone got any advice?

Pretty straight forward. Only tool needed is a pick or flat screwdriver to get the E-clip off and back on. You'll love the way it shifts with new bushings.

I take a lot of pride in the fact that I've kept my B as stock as possible. When i say stock I mean replaced parts are remanufactured or on the rare occasion a new factory part. If that makes sense...

It has occurred to me that I haven't shared my latest acquisition.
