Drill and tap a hole for a grease fitting. Eliminate the need to replace those bushings.

Thank you so much for this video, I have had no idea about this tool to remove/install the shifter shaft bushings. Found one in China on Aliexpress marketplace as "Shift Pedal Shaft Bushing Quick Remover / Installer Tools For Harley 1985"

2010 FXSTC softtail custom here. Same mounting design but mine has a few more parts. A nylon bushing (which I replaced with brass) and an o-ring on either end. My shift lever on the engine side is attached to the shaft... it's all one piece. Harley has been all over the map on this design so consult a parts manual for your particular year and model so you have the right parts, the right tool before you start tearing things apart. My bushings are plastic and very small. Couldn't find any metal replacements. The shaft is just now starting to get a little wobbly at 22k miles and I'm sure it could go for a way longer time with no issues. You definitely want to keep an eye on the grade 8 allen head screw that connects the shift linkage t the spline going into the transmission. I prefer to replace the bold rather than trying to tighten what's in there. If you bust the head off that screw it's an inner primary tear down to fix it.
