They're not all that costly - $12 on this site and under $10 at at least one other site - granted, that's for a URO unit, but hey, I doubt they can screw up a simple metal tube. In fact, that's what I used when I replaced mine. And they're not all that bad to replace. You've got to drill two holes and use a pry bar, but nothing like other common repairs most of us have participated in with these beasts. All that said, no you don't want to booger up the centering bushing if you can at all help it!!

Here's how in case someone needs it. Installation is just a few taps with a dead blow hammer and an appropriate size mandrel (socket).
