If you have old rusty pushrod tubes on your BMW airhead motorcycle, you might want to change them out for new stainless steel pushrod tubes. Not only will look much better, but they will probably keep your bike happy for another 50+ years!
In this video, I share how to remove your old pushrod tubes from your cylinder jugs. You can find these on most pushrod tubes on all BMW /5 models, BMW /6 models and BMW /7 models. Between 1969 and 1980 there changed the diameter of the pushrod tubes from 15.88mm (16mm) to 18mm (17.88mm).
This is a pretty straightforward repair that literally anyone can do with some patience! The only specialty tool you might want to pick up will be a pushrod tube mandrel (removal tool). This can be found here:

-18mm Mandrel: https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/pro...

During the installation process, you might to pick up a good gasket maker or Loctite or your choice:
