Problem with clutch lever bushing
 

I recently made the mistake of parking my F2 on unstable ground, and unluckily enough, the bike fell over. Besides making me feel like an idiot, it also broke the clutch lever.

Of course, normally this is no big deal, just replace the lever. So I got a new lever and started to replace it. The old lever had basically fallen apart all around the bushing, and basically just fell out. The only parts left to deal with are the bolt and the bushing from the lever.

The problem is that the bushing seems to be stuck on the bolt. ive tried hammering the bottom of the bolt with a small hammer, and it wont push through at all. ive also tried to hold onto the bushing with both pliers and vice grips and then trying to turn the bolt to loosen it, but it refuses to move. it's seriously stuck.

any ideas?

soak it for a few days with penetrating oils. You can also heat it with a propane torch, but you should remove the clutch perch from the bike first. The bolt may have rusted and filled the gap to the bushing walls.

I'd soak it with PE and tap it from the bottom with a mallet. Rinse and repeat. There are no threads there to damage (except the bolt itself) because its a pivot point.

It does have a thread on the bracket so you won't be able to hammer it out, you'll need to unscrew it. Soaking it will help but it might just be that the bushing has jammed the bolt, try tapping the actual bushing to see if you can get some movement.

u can burn off the bushing as well worked when i did it just got to be careful

Alright, I'm going to try soaking it in some stuff and then see if I can't get it loose by tapping the bushing with something.

Did you get this resolved. I have same problem on my F2 I discovered tonight. If you got it out let me know you did it please.
