Yup, that's it. $6.48 where I shop at. No fun to change out the little bugger. Happy Trails!

That is Honda's list price. My price is $5.74 but I get the super discount because of all the stuff I buy.

Nope, just the high volume customer discount. And they know me on sight and call me by my first name.

make sure you dont use a hammer to try and press out or press in the bushing. you will break that motor mount ear off.
Nothing like getting stroked!

You could use a couple of washers and a bolt to slide it in. That's what I do. Light oil helps but you have to cut the sides of the washers down a bit to clear the case or you will for sure break it. Michael, if you haven't ordered it yet, I have one just pm me. Pick up only, no delivery.
