Evo riders check your clevis is intact!!!

strange thread title I know, but just servicing the wr430 rear brake and found this lurking between rear brake cable and pedal

Not often you pull out and check this part, but I'm glad I did as it is worn out. Might have lasted for years, might of snapped next ride, who knows?! I'm replacing this, just hoping the clevis pin on HVA FACTORY will work #12-25-258-01 it looks the same, but for earlier application.

My pin is 11mm end - end.5mm dia'

I don't want to crash

i have have seen them much scarier looking, but yes...thats a part often overlooked.

Nothing worse than going for the rear brake and speeding up, is there?! That gets the adrenalin pumping for sure

An intact clevis is a sign of a good upbringing! Certainly not of someone who hangs out with Husky Riders.

On the topic....

On my [somewhat] recently acquired '85, the pin looked like that, and the small steel bushing in the pedal had a corresponding amount of wear. I pushed out the bushing, but I'm having trouble finding anything 'off the shelf' that I can press back in.

Anyone had any luck replacing the steel bushing in the pedal itself? What did you use?

I've been rebuilding my 87 250 XC, and it's all apart...

... so this is good timing. Thanks for the tip.
I just checked my rear brake clevis and it looks just like yours. Looking for a replacement now.

I got the bushings from Phillip at husqvarna-parts.com

Eric, mine is the same, more oval than round but still has material there, so I'm just going to order a replacement pin. A machinist would be able to make something suitable for pressing in there, failing that there are some used replacement pedal with some of the dealers and on eBay.

Yeah, I've got a spare pedal, so I'm OK there. My old man is still kicking and has a pretty good machining setup, so he could make a bushing for me. To be honest when I pushed it out, it looks rounded to the outside, so I don't think it was made to be replaced and I may have toasted the pedal. Oh well, HVA Factory has some nice replacements if I manage to toast another pedal.

Bearing/bushing, not exactly what I'm talking about. Probably a $.03 chunk of steel at the very back of the pedal.

FYI, I'm pretty sure you can get equivalent bearings out of the bolt drawer area at your local Ace Hardware for a couple bucks. My local bearing supplier sold them to me for about $2.50 each. I would suggest that if you have a local bearing shop, check them before you head online, Husqvarna was a small enough outfit that they used a lot of 'off the shelf' wear parts, which means you can find them 'off the shelf' now. Just mind quality. Stuff that you're OK replacing periodically (wheel bearings, pedal bearings), I just go ahead with the chinese made 'stuff'. If you have a good shop press (even a cheap harbor freight arbor press) you can replace pedal bearings in about 2 minutes. For things like Crank bearings, the added cost of the specialty sites may be more worthwhile.

i always thought it was very trick that the single shock bikes had replaceable bearings in the pedal!
the bearings is a 608rs, buy a stock of good quality ones, as thats what almost all chain rollers take as well..
i like to remove the brake pedal tip and use the one from a later italian bike...they attach the same way but are about double size

608 bearings are roller skate bearings?

maybe, i dont know..608rs are common tho
