• Going to be changing steering stem bushings on both my 87 250,s.Never done one so anyone know what all parts are needed.I have the big bushing but have heard some O-rings and seals in as well.Is there a kit out there?Part #,s?
  
  And is the bushing a pita to get out?
  
  Just want to get the parts required and some input before I tear it apart.Any info is appreciated.

• its been a while but i did the top and bottom in no time flat. i dont remember needing o rings or seals.  there is a perminent seal inside the large lower washer thingy.
  
  make sure the 2nd little lower washer goes in the correct place. check the parts diagram.

• You should be able to get every part you need to replace all bushings o rings and seals from Honda east website. They also have diagrams with part numbers so you can be certain that your ordering the correct part. The upper seem bushing is a pretty critical thing to replace if you have any play in your steer stem. I ordered everything I needed from my local shop but like I said Honda east Toledo would have everything as well.

  Ya, it's probably not vital that I have it but it does give added protection.
