Hi Dwight. It's not a terribly hard job. The worst part is supporting the plane while it's legs are off. <G> I have done this job on several Coupes S/N 813 and up. Someone else will have to discuss an early Coupe since I've never had one apart. Be prepared to ream the new bushings. One inch comes to mind, an adjustable hand reamer works well. You'll need the tooling to press the old bushings out and the new in. Commercial tools are available for this. Be careful when removing or working around the hollow bolt that holds the whole knee together. There is a pin that prevents the hollow bolt from turning. If this breaks off flush it can be a real beast to get out without damaging the aluminum gear leg. Skyport used to sell a kit of everything you'll need. Good luck.
