How to Use the 1911 Bushing Wrench
- Ensure Safety: Before starting any maintenance, make sure your firearm is unloaded, and the magazine is removed.
- Position the Wrench: Align the wrench with the barrel bushing, ensuring that the slots on the wrench match the bushing notches.
- Turn Gently: Apply gentle pressure and turn the wrench to loosen the bushing. Be cautious to maintain control of the spring underneath to avoid accidental release.
