Guys on my other post I was giving some very good information about drill rod and bronze for bushings.So what I am looking at is this http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=760&step=2.Which one,is there an advantage hollow over solid?In the gear that I need to replace the bushings how does a person remove the bushing,guessing to use a punch?Then how to install the bushing,use a press,if it comes out correctly after turning?Guys the drill rod is .562 but the one I am replacing on a good spot it is .557 which does slide in/out easy and no play.I believe the .562 will be a snug fit.
Now to bore/drill to .562 should I use just a good 9/16 drill bit or come close to it then use a reamer?Guys this is new to me which means that I have never have machine to to very close fit.My working lathe is a Sears/Atlas which all I have done is make some knobs.Any Youtubes or links or just some good old fashion advice.Thanks----kroll
