Force required to remove beam end bushings and beam center bushing may exceed 30 tons (27
metric tons). Use a press of 60-ton (54 metric tons) capacity or more to remove and install
bushings. Use care when pressing out bushings to prevent serious personal injury or death.
Always wear eye protection to prevent injury when operating press.
Ensure beam end bushing remover is correctly aligned on the bushing shell before
attempting start pressing operation. Also check that equalizer beam is correctly aligned on
press plate so that there is clearance for old beam end bushing to drop through.
