Step 1: Remove Old Bushes.

Please note there is no need to remove the manifold for this repair.

Remove engine cosmetic plastic cover, beneath this you will see the intake manifold. Locate loose operating rod, you will likely find this laying on top of the manifold. If still in position you can bend a coat hanger to make a hook to aid in removing the rod.

Cut away old plastic bushes. This can be done with hand cutters as illustrated or with a power tool such as a Dremel. Take care when removing plastic parts that you do not bend the operating rod. We also recommend eye protection for this step.

Some remnants of the plastic may remain in the holes in the rod, remove these using a drill so that there is a hole where each bush once was.
