Changing floor bush on bunning spreader

[indiescot]

Evening folks

Just looking for advice on how to remove this bush off a bunning. Do you need to unbolt the outside casing or is the easier way? Have tried a few things but cant seem to get the pressure off the shaft to remove the bush.

Slacken the floor chains undo the bolts around the housing and pull off the end of the shaft , or undo the bolts and turn the housing by 180 degrees as the bush will be worn on one side only as the grease just squeezes out

Did ours by drilling with a small drill to cut the old one in half then poked it out with a screwdriver after slackening the floor chains.then pushed new one in with a block of wood and hammer
