Took the Watts linkage apart. Used Howard's advice to cut off the rivets and tap the studs to ease reassembly. Put in 4 new bushings to replace the inners and had to grind the heads of the new bolts to give clearance.
The bigger two bushings that allow the inner assembly to rotate seemed to be in good shape. They are $12.50 each at Max, and Dwights didnt provide new ones on this kit, I lubed them with some silicone grease and reinstalled.
Watts linkage is ready to go once I get that damn load arm to reseat.!!!
