ABSTRACT

A bushing assembly displacement system comprises a pull system comprising a
guide plate defining a guide edge discontinuity, a push system comprising a
guide tube defining a guide surface discontinuity, and a drive system
comprising a drive rod. The pull system is configured to be operatively
connected to the bushing assembly such that the guide edge discontinuity
engages the structural member. The push system is configured to be operatively
connected to the bushing assembly such that guide surface discontinuity
engages the bushing assembly. The rod is operatively connected to the pull
system. Operation of the drive system displaces the drive rod to displace the
bushing assembly and the guide plate while the guide tube engages the bushing
assembly such that the guide plate and the guide tube maintain the bushing
assembly in a desired orientation as the bushing assembly moves within the
opening defined by the structural member.
