| Removing Bushings from JS Pads |

When removing bushings at any time from JS pads it is extremely
important to use the skin protector tool (provided free). This is
necessary because there is a hidden aluminum collar under the gold
skin near the center of the pad. This area at the center of the pad will
also be covered by a bushing. If you remove a bushing without the skin
protector in place, you might wedge the skin of the pad downward
against the hidden aluminum collar. This will cut through the skin and damage
the pad. Using the skin protector is similar to cutting a plastic shim
in half and sliding it under the outside edge of the bushing.
Follow these steps for removing a Bushing from JS Open Hole pads with
the skin protector.
1. Place the key on a flat surface.
2. Slide the skin protector between the surface of the pad and the
bushing.
3. Carefully pry out the delrin bushing with a dull flat faced tool. A
fingernail also works well.
4. Remove the pad from the key cup.
