Thanks for the info. I see they are threaded in the center, but it does not appear they tread to get them out. The manual just says, take the shackle plates off. It is not that easy, it looks to me like in the pictures the ends of the bushing are pressed on??? I appreciate the drawings, but still am at a loss as to how to get the bushing and threaded pin out of the shackle. I will mess with it some more this evening. Thanks
