Just thought I would start a new thread on this. Long story short the bushing broke after a few years. As most know with the AVX line the posts can be a PITA to get out.
I used a wood chisel and cut down the side in a few different spots until the old bushing broke loose then used a screw driver to pry out the pieces. I shop vacuumed out the debris in the bottom and chiseled the pin off. I applied the glue in the kit to the new bushing and used the supplied tool and hammer to do the install. Glue probably wasn’t needed as its a pretty snug fit. Finished product looks like new.
Now to the problem of getting the post in and out. SILICONE grease (Super Lube) is the answer. Posts come out with only a slight pull. I bought the grease at Harbor Freight. If you have issues like I was this grease gets it done.
