I recall some of you homers making grooves in the bushings when you had your linkages apart. I was thinking the same thing, and since it's time to tear apart the Five spot for her first complete re-grease, I figured I would get the most recent info on how that has been working out for everyone.

I was thinking that one groove running the circumference in the middle, or where ever the zerk is located, plus three or maybe even four longitudinal grooves to distribute the greasy goodness... Is that about what you guys were doing?

Thanks,

Working perfectly. Do it.

Five months or so and no troubles. I think I could even have gotten away with three grooves.

BTW- I did mine with a dremel and the edge of a cut off disc. I found that all I needed to do was simply make some flats that allowed the grease to flow.

This is not needed, you have a groove around the circumference between the bushes in the frame already. Just make the longitude grooves (I made three, with a Dremel).
