simply push the small bushing out with a screwdriver. On the big bushing you may have to push the center plastic piece out first and then push the rubber part out secondly.

I got them in, but I bent the **** out of the pin holding the rear bushings in.
I used the pin, but I have no clue how it is supposed to go back on, but Im hoping it holds up...

Use a bushing press tool because you'll never get the old ones out with a screwdriver. I tried that and they won't budge at all. Just be careful not to stress the cable or bend it while trying to pop the old bushing out. Good luck. BTW talon, I'm EVOXGSR over on evox. When I mentioned that getting the old bushings out was a *****, I wasn't kidding, was I? Like I said, just use a press tool, like a portable vice grip, and compress the bushing itself, hold the loop of the cable and then twist the bushing diagonally through the hole and it should pop out. Good luck,

I pushed mine out with needle nose pliers

Also, does anyone know what type of pin is used to hold the rear bushing?
I will buy a new one.

Noticeable difference in shifting. Definitely a better feel.
But I still have the 1st to 2nd problem
