Cold front with rain. No progress this afternoon other than obtaining the pieces to make the bushing tool.

5/8"x12" all thread. (Tractor Supply w/cute check out girl)

Four nuts to fit the above. (T/S)

Two 5/8 ID washers (T/S)

Two 3/4" ID washers (T/S)

One 1 1/2" female pipe coupler (Lowes plumbing)

I could weld up some stuff but, I'm trying to come up with something for those without a welder.

The idea is to pull the old bushing out using the threaded rod into the 1.5" pipe coupler. You can then use this to pull the new bushing into place.

Pictures coming.
