Hi David
Just noticed your query on the bushes in the dolls head gearbox.
The simplest way to remove them, if replacing with new, is to carefully cut through the wall in one position using a fine hacksaw blade, simples!
Best regards

For removal, a selection of nuts bolts washers and tube spacer ( conduit....) of appropriate sizes to assemble through the bush and wind it out with the thread. Similar approach to refit although great care is necessary not to mark the working surface of the bush. Check which face is flush before you remove the originals so you know how far to push back in. Alternative is to take it to a mech workshop and have them pressed in/out. It depends on what you are prepared to take on. Keep them flat and clean with a smear of oil in the casing to lube as it goes in...
