Thanks James,
I don't know if the fulcrum pin was ever removed or not but I wa able to
loosen the bolts - I tightened them back up when it occured to me there may
be nuts falling into the abyss.
I got the harder (polyurethan(?)) bushings - why wouldhn't youput grease
onthem? I thought I read on this list that they were to be greased on the
inside or outside depending on which theory you wanted to follow.
